Sustaining the Spirit offers us fresh insights into the meaning and reality of vocation. Traditionally, a vocation has been understood to be related to our life's work. In this book, however, you will discover how vocation expands far beyond work to encompass the essence, purpose, and direction of each individual life. Real-life anecdotes, original study, and down-to-earth points for reflection shed light on finding our true vocation in life through our callings, commitments, and challenges. Each of these elements is thoughtfully examined, with a view to practical application to our lives and greater sensitivity to the guidance of the Spirit. Book jacket.
