Many Are Called - Few Choose: The Death-Defying Pursuit of Yahweh

"Our religion is little more than a matter of convenience. We give it its just due—when it’s convenient for us." With his trademark writing style, William Ulsh blends vibrant historical accounts and theological reflection to uncover the roots of passive religion and call readers to a spiritual quest on the road less traveled. Exploring the characteristics of those who made a mark on the world, Ulsh points out that they were often vilified for the very attributes that defined their greatness: resolute, rebellious, reckless, resolved, relentless, revolutionary, radical and resilient.
