Publisher Description
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.

Must read
I loved Paula’s book. I identified in many ways with her —- her insecurities, her beliefs, and perseverance. This book is a must read. Especially if you have felt unworthy, unappreciated, or like you don’t belong. It just goes to show how much we all have in common despite thinking otherwise.
Fantastic and Uplifting!
First of all, I am a huge fan of Paula as a professional. Therefore, i couldn't wait to read this book! What I didn't realize is how reading it would literally stop me in my tracks and give me the reason I've been looking for to examine my own path. Paula does an excellent job of describing her journey of giving up her "Dream Jobs" on Good Morning America and the View and began to refocus her direction on her "faith calling." Her book reminds us that life is not about what we do but who we are. A reminder, that I think all of us could use! I could not recommend this book enough!
