Calling All Years Good: Christian Vocation throughout Life's Seasons

Do infants or even Alzheimer’s patients have a vocation? In popular culture, vocation is often reduced to adult work or church ministry. Rarely do we consider childhood or old age as crucial times for commencing or culminating a life of faith in response to God's calling.

This book addresses that gap by showing how vocation emerges and evolves over the course of an entire lifetime. The authors cover six of life's distinct seasons (childhood, adolescence, younger adulthood, middle adulthood, late adulthood, and older adulthood), weaving together personal narrative, developmental theory, case studies, and spiritual practices. Calling All Years Good grounds the discussion of vocation in concrete realities and builds a cohesive framework for understanding calling throughout all of life.
