Called to Serve

How does the son of Canadian immigrants become a two-time Cabinet Secretary under President Ronald Reagan? Donald P. Hodel never expected to reach the heights of power-- yet at every turn, service called. From young Republican activist to Secretary of Energy and Secretary of the Interior, Hodel's journey exemplifies a life shaped by faith, integrity, and reluctant duty. With humility and candor, he shares the mentors who guided him, pivotal career moments, and the enduring love story with his wife Barbara. For history and political buffs, Called to Serve offers a refreshing look at an era when political leaders worked across the aisle, agreed to disagree, and still got along. In today's divided climate, Hodel's memoir reminds us when bipartisan cooperation wasn't just possible-- it was how things got done. A testament to principled leadership and answering the call to serve.
