The timing was good for John E. Sharp to write his recent biography of Orie O. Miller, My Calling to Fulfill: The Orie O. Miller Story . Thirty-eight years have passed since Orie Miller's death, allowing time for objective evaluation of this man who greatly influenced the Mennonite Church. And there are many people still living, who in their younger years worked closely with Orie Miller and still have vivid memories of working with him. Orie's life span, 1892-1977, parallels the institutional development of the Mennonite Church. Sharp's book tells how Orie played a very significant role in starting many of those church programs and assisted in the growth and development of others, especially Mennonite colleges. This book provides a historical perspective of the major Mennonite programs from the years 1920 to 1970. Orie was part of most of them, and the book shows Orie at work, at home and abroad, doing the work of God's kingdom. The story starts with his early life as the son of an important church leader, D. D. Miller in Elkhart County, Indiana. It continues through his marriage to a young woman from Akron, Pennsylvania, and his taking up residence there. He lived his entire adult life in Akron, but his work for the church and the shoe business took him on trips all over the world. In Akron, he became part of the more conservative Lancaster Mennonite Conference, helping to start Eastern Mennonite Board of Missions and Charities and being part of the Ephrata Mennonite congregation. He also helped to manage a shoe factory and reared a family of five children. Sharp's book tells stories of his church, family, and business activities in a very descriptive way. How did the man accomplish so much? The book describes his administrative skills and insights. A highly disciplined person, he was continually thinking of visionary plans for the many institutions that he served. In talking to missionaries and administrators, he would often inquire about their five- and ten-year plans. Sharp writes that Orie learned this from his business experiences and his early years as a relief worker following World War I. Miller's personal faith and his strong loyalty to the Mennonite Church added a spiritual dimension to his life's work. Sharp's book points out that Orie had his critics. Mennonite Fundamentalists in the 1930s and 1940s were especially outspoken. He was once referred to as a "dangerous man" because he worked closely with Quakers, Church of the Brethren leaders, and more liberal Mennonites to develop the CPS program and establish a unified peace witness in Washington, D.C. Young Mennonite scholars in Europe criticized him and other leaders for exercising too much authority in church matters. Orie, himself, wished that he would have more time to spend with his wife and growing children. While being a strong and persuasive leader, he talked in a soft-spoken manner. He would sometimes become emotional. The book gives several occasions where Orie wept openly. Orie Miller was filled with passion to serve God and the church. This burning desire drove him to work very hard and travel many miles. It is also what made him so persuasive in asking others to serve. One of Orie's well-known quotes was, "When the church asks you to serve, let your answer be yes unless there is a good reason to say no." John Sharp's book is most informative and enjoyable. Readers will like the many good black-and-white graphics of Orie and his family and associates. Yes, the book is a story, the story of a man and the church that he served., I just kept reading the Miller biography! The vast research by the author, John E. Sharp, brought stimulating human interest details of both Miller's work and the context of the church and community where he lived. I was amazed how some conservative Virginia Mennonite Conference leaders in the 1940's tried to derail Miller's leadership and work in establishing the new Civilian Public Service in WWII. Through his vision and persistence, Miller prevailed for the good of all., Sharp brings to light details of how Orie Miller coaxed quiet Mennonites of North America to serve the world during some of the most challenging times of the twentieth century., Sharp's biography captures effectively the character and commitments that made Orie Miler one of the most consequential Mennonite leaders of the twentieth century.

Synopsis
In a century marked by two devastating world wars, the fractious fundamentalist-modernist debate, and growing diversity in the church, Orie O. Miller helped to lead Mennonites from rural isolation to global engagement. In this engaging narrative, My Calling to Fulfill describes how Miller led Mennonite work in education, missions, peacemaking, postwar reconstruction, and mental health, and how he helped to mold every major Mennonite agency from Mennonite Central Committee to Mennonite Economic Development Agency. Filled with previously untold stories of Miller's personal life--his childhood, college years, marriage, and internal conflict between his commitment to his family and commitment to his beloved church--this inspiring and comprehensive biography traces the contours of twentieth-century Anabaptism through the theology and vocation of one of its most influential leaders.
