God at Work: Your Christian Vocation in All of Life (Focal Point Series) (Focal Point Series)16 reviews
Crossway Books, 2002
God at Work: Your Christian Vocation in All of Life
My nephew is a missionary. I do all of the finances and paperwork for him, but somehow that seems pale compared to the work a missionary does. It is so easy for those of us who desire to serve God to see that those 'in ministry' - those who are pastors or missionaries or evangelists or music leaders - somehow have a more important role in God's Kingdom then the rest of us. Gene Edward Veith ...

A Hidden Wholeness: The Journey Toward an Undivided Life14 reviews
Parker J. Palmer
Jossey-Bass, 2004
Wholeness for a healthy organization
I was inspired to write page after page in my personal journal after reading the first few chapters. This book was used as the foundation for facilitator training for a week long retreat for The Center for Formation in Higher Education. I especially appreciate the use of metaphor to illustrate the many paradoxes in our lives as we call upon the shy inner teacher. The explanations and examples are ...

Jossey-Bass, 2004
Live Your Calling A practical guide to Finding and Fulfiling
This book is exacty what I have been looking for. I am the director of Career Services at Azusa Pacific College and it has been difficult to find a sophisticated book that brings Gods calling together with the pragmatic aspects of finding a career. I highly recommend this remarkable book to use with individuals, classes on life planning or in small groups.

Callings: Finding and Following an Authentic Life41 reviews
Gregg Michael Levoy
Random House Audio, 1997
Good Information For You Here....
I very much enjoyed this book. Here are just a few of my favourite excerpts:
"Our lives are measured out in coffee spoons, they are measured out not in the grand sweeps but in the small gestures. -T.S. Eliot"
"Callings keep surfacing until we deal with them"
"Repetition is fundamental to learning"
"Perhaps the main reason we ignore calls is that we instinctively know the price ...

The Voice: A story about faith and trust by R.W. Metlen
One of the best books ever! Written as a if it were a children's picture book, it speaks volumes to adults. The simple message and delightful illustrations are powerful testimony both to human nature and God's love.

Golden Wisdom for Today's Woman: Treasured Portraits of Faith6 reviews
Barbara Sims
Cook Communications Ministries (CO), 2002
ABOUT WOMEN BUT NOT EXCLUSIVELY FOR WOMEN
Realizing that this book was written about women, for women, I was a little hesitant to pick it up. However, as my curiosity overcame my hesitancy and I began to read. As I read, I soon realized that I knew several of the women but I also realized that I didn't really know them. Reading "the rest of the story" of each of them was so-o-o interesting and inspiring. Like the stories of Ruth, ...

Courage & Calling: Embracing Your God-Given Potential7 reviews
Gordon T. Smith
InterVarsity Press, 1999
Insightful and intelligent
This is the first of Gordon T. Smith's books I have read and now I intend to read others. He writes with unusual insight. I confess I have found many mainstream Christian living books written for too wide an audience, with a basic-level vocabulary, but Smith writes with intelligence, precision, and wisdom. This book aided my understanding a great deal as I struggled with a vocational loss of ...

Whitcomb's Best Book Yet -- A Real Blessing for Job Seekers
The Christian's Career Journey is a blessing for any Christian job seeker. Today's challenges and pressures to create a fulfilling career and earn a decent living can seem impossible. Yet God has a perfect plan for each of us, and He delights in doing the impossible if we only ask for his help, obey his will, and persevere through the career journey with prayer and scripturally based Godly ...

Discover Your Destiny: Finding the Courage to Follow Your Dreams6 reviews
William Carr Peel, Kathy Peel
NavPress Publishing Group, 1997
Must reading for those wanting to do more with their lives.
I have to agree with Marc from Pennsylvania below. This is one of the most important books ever written for Christians--it deserves a much wider reputation than it has thus far. In 1997, I turned 40. My father had just lost his final battle with cancer, and I was questioning my career direction. I'd read Kathy Peel's "Do Plastic Surgeons Take Visa?" and loved how she combined humor with ...

9 to 5 Window6 reviews
OS Hillman
Regal Books, 2005
If I knew then what I know now
"The 9-5 Window" clearly should be the workplace Bible. Os Hillman has weaved a tapestry of life between the covers of this book. There is not a day that goes by that someone, on some level does not mention the undercurrent of discontent as it relates their purpose in life and the challenge of blending the realities of the workplace with their personal faith. Many are unnecessarily suffering ...

Holy Play takes you on a journey of ideas that encourage you to create the life you want to live. I believe we are giving up our greatest gift from God by constantly awaiting for Him to "show" us what ...

The Ultimate Anti-Career Guide: The Inner Path to Finding Your Work in the World8 reviews
Rick Jarow
Sounds True, 2001
I recommend the audio tapes over the paperback...
I bought "Creating the Work You Love" about a year ago. It clicked with me. He's writing for people who come to life from a spiritual perspective, and have grown fairly skillful at that side of life, but are awkwardly deficient in the nitty gritty of reality. Jarow understands that the nitty gritty is also spiritual, and so he approaches the good old question of jobs and career from a wise and ...
