Description

Called by Love invites readers into the life and reflections of David Brown, a minister and chaplain who spent decades challenging the status quo of traditional Christianity.

With humour, wisdom, and compassion, Brown shares his journey of faith, shaped by his encounters with "ordinary" people and his commitment to making Jesus’ message relevant to the world today.

This book is for those who feel disconnected from rigid religious traditions yet remain curious about the life-changing teachings of Jesus.

Brown’s candid storytelling highlights his struggles with inflexible Church practices, his passion for clear and inclusive language, and his unshakable belief in the power of love as the core of Christian discipleship.

Whether you’re a minister seeking to connect with your congregation, a worship leader looking for fresh inspiration, or a spiritually inclined person questioning faith’s role in modern life, Called by Love offers thoughtful insights and challenges that will stretch your thinking and deepen your understanding.
