STUDY THEME FOR THE YEAR

2007–2008 Horizons Bible Study

Above and Beyond:
Hearing God's Call in Jonah and Ruth
by Carol M. Bechtel

Suggestions for Leaders
by Joyce MacKichan Walker

What does it mean to hear God's call?

It is often assumed that only those who go into some kind of formal, full-time ministry have heard a "call." In the 2007–2008 Horizons Bible study, Above and Beyond: Hearing God's Call in Jonah and Ruth, Old Testament scholar and pastor Carol Bechtel looks at what God's call meant for Jonah and Ruth. Not just a "fish story" or a "Cinderella tale," these biblical books, says Bechtel, offer us insight into what it means for each of us to hear and heed God's call.
