When you can name what you are here for-
whether that is to build, or teach, or paint,
or program compusters, or change society,
or parent children- you are following your call.

Almost every aspect of our living and dying has been categorized into stages- pregnancy, the first years of life, adolescence, midlife passages, death and dying. But our spiritual development remains essentially unchartered. With extraodinary insight, Marjory Bankson breaks open the confept of "call" by exploring our process and answering life's deepest questions: Who am I? What is my work? What is my gift? What is my legacy? Her unique six-stage soulwork cycle presents a pattern of spiritual growth that offers understanding, comfort, and companionshiop at each step on the spiritual path.

"The Call to the Soul is soul-food. I came expecting to take a bite... I stayed and ate my fill. Welcome to the feast!"

- Walter Wink, professor of biblical interpretation, Auburn Theological Seminary; author, The Powers That Be

"This is Marjory Bankson's best book yet! The Call to the Soul is for all who have a sense of the spiritual- those 'on the journey', and those seeking spiritual meaning for their lives. This book is best read not just once, but at significant turning points in our lives. It will remain a long-time source of inspiration."

-Dr. Marguerite Foxon, international performance specialist, Motorola

"The Call to the Soul is a rich resource for pilgrims ready to listen... an insightful guidebook for lives yearning for transformation."

-Wesley Granberg-Michaelon, general secretary, Reformed Church in America
