Foreword Review's Annual INDIEFAB Book of the Year Finalist
Outreach Resource of the Year Christianity Today Award of Merit
Leadership Journal Best Books for Church Leaders Book of the Year
from Byron Borger, Hearts and Minds Bookstore Is it possible to
know the world and still love the world? Of all the questions we
ask about our calling, this is the most difficult. From marriages
to international relations, the more we know, the harder it is to
love. We become cynics or stoics, protecting our hearts from the
implications of what we know. But what if the vision of vocation
can be recovered-allowing us to step into the wounds of the world
and for love's sake take up our responsibility for the way the
world turns out? For decades Steve Garber has come alongside a wide
range of people as they seek to make sense of the world and their
lives. With him we meet leaders from the Tiananmen Square protest
who want a good reason to still care about China. We also meet with
many ordinary people in ordinary places who long for their lives to
matter: Jonathan who learned he would rather build houses than
study history Todd and Maria who adopted creative schedules so they
could parent better and practice medicine D.J. who helped Congress
move into the Internet Age Robin who spends her life on behalf of
urban justice Hans who makes hamburgers the way they are meant to
be made Susan who built a home business of hand-printing stationary
using a letterpress Santiago who works with majority-world nations
in need of capital George who has given years to teaching students
to learn things that matter most Claudius and Deirdre whose
openhearted home has always been a place for people Dan who loves
Wyoming, the place, its people and its cows Vocation is when we
come to know the world in all its joy and pain and still love it.
Vocation is following our calling to seek the welfare of the world
we live in. And in helping the world to flourish, strangely,
mysteriously, we find that we flourish too. Garber offers a book
for everyone everywhere-for students, for parents, for those in the
arts, in the academy, in public service, in the trades and in
commerce-for all who want to discover the virtue of vocation.
