This practical guide helps readers to understand their talents and temperament and find the career or calling in which they can flourish. It takes a broad-ranging view of vocation to include all kinds of secular work, marriage and parenting, as well as callings to Christian service.

Increasingly, people are looking for more than a well-paid job; they also expect to find personal fulfilment and a sense of purpose and value in what they do.

Part one, "What Do We Mean By Vocation?", explores the idea of the vocational life and encourages everyone to consider what their vocation might be. It asks whether a vocation is for life, or whether it changes as we grow and it also contrasts the differences between a career and a vocation.

Part two, "How Do I Find My Vocation?", is a hands-on guide to understanding one's gifts and abilities, discovering one's "inner compass" and learning to recognize the signs that tell us we are on the right or the wrong road. Full of practical advice and spiritual wisdom, this provides a map for a change of direction in life.

Part three, "Living My Vocation", looks at all the practical responsibilities that follow from pursuing our true goals in life.
