Calling All Years Good
Christian Vocation throughout Life's Seasons
About this book
A uniquely comprehensive discussion of vocation from infancy to old age
Do infants have a vocation? Do Alzheimer's patients? In popular culture, vocation is often reduced to adult work or church ministry. Rarely do we consider childhood or old age as crucial times for commencing or culminating a life of faith in response to God's calling.
This book addresses that gap by showing how vocation emerges and evolves over the course of an entire lifetime. The authors cover six of life's distinct seasons, weaving together personal narrative, developmental theory, case studies, and spiritual practices.Ā Calling All Years GoodĀ grounds the discussion of vocation in concrete realities and builds a cohesive framework for understanding calling throughout all of life.
