Vocation as a way to think about work

William Boekestein approaches career choice through the Christian doctrine of vocation, shifting the question from finding a perfectly matched job to serving faithfully in work. The book is organized around three stages: considering what Scripture teaches about calling, preparing by examining skills and character while weighing vocational options, and practicing biblical disciplines in the workplace. It also connects employment with a Christian’s other callings and broader life. The emphasis is on discernment and faithful conduct, not simply selecting a particular occupation.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Young people weighing career options from a Christian perspective
  • Christian readers seeking a scriptural framework for work and calling
  • Readers interested in connecting workplace conduct with other responsibilities

Book overview

How can I pick the right job?

Actually, you don't need to choose a job that's "perfect for you." But you do need to be productive in ways that honor God in your work life.

Here's a better question: As a believer, how can I determine what I am supposed to do, and then do it well? The doctrine of calling, or vocation, will lead you to the answer.

Finding My Vocation will help you do three things:

    Ponder-learn what it means to have a calling and what Scripture teaches about work.Prepare-determine the skills and character traits you'll need and learn to sort through vocational options and be faithful in your other callings.Practice-apply biblical disciplines to succeed at work and relate work to the rest of your life as a Christian.

God placed us in his world to work for his glory. You might not know exactly what he has planned for you, but you must-and can-be faithful where he calls you.
