Vocation

[Casey]

What is the best treatment (not necessarily the longest, so if it's a section in a larger work that's cool) on the subject of vocation? Thanks.

Here is an older thread that may be of some interest:

Now why did that thread not come up when I searched for the word "vocation"?

Paul Helm has a dandy little book.

CALLINGS: THE GOSPEL IN THE WORLD

Helm believes that many Christians' lives have been harmed by thinking that the only

worthwhile way to live is in some kind of "Christian" career. In fact, God calls the vast

majority to serve him where they are, on the factory floor, in the office, behind the

counter or check-out desk, or in the home. This work shows that instead of dividing life

into spiritual and secular compartments, every moment of it can be lived fully to the glory

of God. 143 pp. Gospel Mission Books
