Awakening Vocation    A Theology of Christian Call

Edward P Hahnenberg

Does God have a specific plan for each of us, or is it more like general guidelines for all of us? How do my gifts and abilities, my personality and particular circumstances, impact my vocation? What is the role of the church in this process? What are the needs of the world that call us to respond?

Awakening Vocation explores these questions and breathes new life into an ancient idea rousing vocation from a centuries-long slumber.
