Publisher's Description

What if your vocation doesn't align with your passion?

Some people are lucky enough to get paid to do what they love. But many are not.

In You Have a Calling, award-winning author Karen Swallow Prior has encouraging news: If you pursue the good, true, and beautiful in all your work, you will find your greatest fulfillment. In this book, you'll discover

● how knowing the crucial difference between passion and calling transforms how you view work;
● how to finding meaning in every role, regardless of your career; and
● how everyday work reflects the image of God through truth, goodness, and beauty.

In an age when passion and calling are often confused, Prior helps you understand that passions come from within, while your calling, or vocation, comes from without and is about being called by others to serve. That crucial distinction can help you understand how God can use both your passions and our work, even if for different purposes.

This book will appeal to everyone who wants to know that their daily work, ordinary though it may be, can fulfill a higher calling to God. You will gain a renewed sense of purpose, knowing you are created for virtue in all you do because you are created in the image of God.
