Description
Vocation is most often linked with a specific calling for those in professional ministry. Doing More with Life explores the way higher education can expand this limited understanding of vocation. Specifically, this volume shows that higher education can clarify how God calls all people, allow mentoring across specific vocations, and inspire future generations to think of their lives as vocations.
Reviews / Votes
By providing some of the most significant and well-reasoned essays on the concept of "calling" to be found anywhere, the book evidences solid intellectual wrestling while drawing readers into this important conversation. --David S. Dockery, President, Union UniversityMore details
