Publisher's summary

Too often we lean into the wrong things and burn out. We buy society's lie that our worth is our work, our value is our vocation, our calling is our career. Confusing what we do with who we are wreaks havoc on our bodies, our souls, and our relationships.

Called Out is a deeply personal book from Paula Faris, the beloved on-air reporter for ABC News and former co-host of The View. She shares her journey through conquering fears that nearly kept her from the high-profile, high-stakes world of broadcast journalism, and then the dangers when that world threatened to consume her. She burned out and faced public humiliation, physical breakdowns, and family struggles. But along the way, she heard God gently calling her out of that dangerous place. As she struggled to find who she was outside of what she did, she discovered her true purpose and true calling. Today, she is the host of ABC's popular podcast Journeys of Faith.

Written with passion and conviction, this book reflects on what it truly means to be called, how to move past the fear holding you back, and how to walk in God's path for you.

Loved the Book

This book really makes you realize how broadcasters are real people and have real issues. Thank you Paula for sharing your story with us. As you read the book you have so many questions about your own life and your true calling and how do you approach it? It opened my eyes to so many situations in my own life. You finish the book with how do I find my true calling? I loved the book!

Very good!

I’ve always been a Paula Faris fan and was delighted with this autobiographical and self-read book.

Well spoken !!!

I love it, especially when she explained her unconditional love for God even at moments that she didn't understand anything. Keep the faith and trust in God. Great job and keep moving forward.

Loved this book!

Thank you, Paula, for your honesty and for allowing yourself to be vulnerable. I was deeply touched by your story. From this day forward, I will consider who people are, rather than what they do! I will continue to share the love of Christ to those around me!

Excellent with

Love it! Very thought provoking and insightful. Challenged me to continue in my faith calling. Thank you Paula!! I never believed ANY of that junk people are spouting.

love wins

I found the story to be pertinent to all who tend to compartmentalize their lives instead of recognizing how faith synthesizes life in His will.

Exceptional. Inspiring. This is a gem!

What an incredible book. I picked this book after watching Craig Groeschel and Paula’s podcast together. It was exactly what I needed and left me in tears through the second half. Thank you, Paula, for loving on others by sharing your heart. Your steps of faith and vulnerability embody the two greatest commandments. Hugs from Amy ❤️

Great inspiration, Paula! Thanks!

I am so thankful for the stories that remind us of living a called out life. You have rekindled the hope we all have in life. Thanks again. I will come back to this book. I highly recommend this book to all.

Authentic and inspiring

I listened in 2 days. I was so pulled into Paula’s story and authentic story telling. I love how naturally she connected God’s word and connected our stories to Peter, Paul, Martha, Mary, Moses...
Relate to so much of her story having lived in St Louis, Chicago and having owned a business, to making big transitions to stay at home mom and so many of the thoughts and feelings and verses to help me pray thru and face the current new season I find myself in with grace and courage. Matthew 5:14-16 Thank you for writing this book Paula. It was exactly what I needed to hear right now.

Inspiring

I loved this book so much I finished it in a day. That being said, there are so many lessons to be learned and considerations to be had that I think I may need to go back and read it again. As a Jewish woman, I am not knowledgeable about the teachings of Jesus. Paula brought enough of her faith and insight into the book to make me appreciate and learn something new. Thank you Paula for sharing your story with us. You are a star.
