I had the pleasure to take a seat alongside Paula on The View for two years. Called Out is an honest look into the very thing that holds many of us back: fear. Paula explains that God can move us through those fears and into a deeper sense of both our faith calling and the calling of our career. If you want to pepper more peace, purpose, and balance into your life, this book is a wonderful place to start.

Paula is incurably curious. She asks astounding questions (I know this firsthand), and she is a wellspring of good advice. (Again, I speak from personal experience.) Most of all, she is in dogged pursuit of a life that lives out faith and values. If you desire to do the same, then you are holding the right book. It is well written and inviting.
