God Calls Ordinary People Like You and Me

by Janice Carleton

Overview

This book is for anyone who likes a good story. I cover a wide range of topics, so there is something for everyone in this book. Much of the content comes from our family experiences and my attempt to walk each day with the Lord who loves us so much! This book is the story of my faith journey and how the incredible God of the universe wants to help us down here. I knew about God for the first two decades of my life; then I had several experiences that started me on the adventure of getting to know the Lord as a real person. I fell in love with that personal God, and my life hasn't been the same since. God is speaking or communicating with us all the time, we just need to learn to recognize His voice. My prayer is that as you read my stores, you will see how God is also communicating with you.

About the Author

I am the mother of four grown children and have six grandchildren. I have been married to my best friend, Jim, for 37 years. We reside in Portland, Oregon and are in ministry with Father Cedric Pisegna, CP, a Passionist priest who lives in Houston, Texas.
I am an inspirational speaker, musician, composer, retreat leader, and author. I have composed and recorded two CDs of piano music called “I Will Speak to My People.” I have also recorded another CD of original songs called “Draw Near to God” on which my daughter sings vocals and I play guitar. These CDs are available at www.janicecarleton.com.
Following is a quote from my pastor: “Janice’s ability to inspire, to draw fitting examples from her personal life, and to witness to the power of Jesus working in her life are all very effective tools. I gladly recommend Janice as a gifted speaker, musician, and all around fine human being. She truly makes a positive difference with her life!”
I graduated from Oregon State University with a BA in Liberal Arts. I enjoy leading worship, facilitating a women’s small faith-sharing group, being a grandma, and riding all over Portland on a tandem bike with my husband.
Most of all, I love the Lord and want others to fall in love with Him too. I pray that my life will glorify our awesome God and that I will choose His will over mine every day.

Editorial Reviews

Janice has been touched by Jesus and her explanation of what it means to follow Christ is experiential and lived. Her candid vulnerability is disarming and powerful. Her stories will inspire you with hope.
