The Call

How would you respond to your own complicity in a childhood indiscretion? What if the memory of that one singular event persisted throughout your life as vividly as the day it happened? What if it prompted a choice and a reason to fulfill your purpose? 

Ken is haunted incessantly by these questions. A single phone call, made when he was just nine years old, initiates a cascade of circumstances that eventually becomes the core of his reality. Every action has intent, every intent has motive, and every motive has necessity. Without announcing itself, love stirs necessity and grows quietly, waiting patiently for the moment when it is recognized.

Faithful Endeavors is the first book of The Call trilogy by author JMA Ziegler.  This remarkable story reveals a deeply personal account of discovery, perseverance and awakening, unexpectedly inspired by an actual phone call made nearly fifty years ago.

JMA Ziegler is a most unlikely author of women’s literature. Dr. Ziegler received a Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering and is a licensed Professional Engineer.

He is currently the Director of Software Development for a small medical image analysis company in Houston, Texas, where his openly stated goal has always been to improve the quality of life. He lives with his wife of more than twenty-five years with whom he has two teenage children.
