I did not like this book. I felt it was a bit trite and that I had already read this material in many other places.

In the midst of an unexpected job loss, I read through this book with a colleague who was in a similar situation. And, in general, I found the content to be moderately helpful but not sufficiently thorough. The first half of the book addresses the theological idea of calling and its implications related to vocation/jobs/career. This was the more helpful part of the book, as I think that Creel addressed a number of important, if sometimes lofty and even idealistic, aspects of pursuing a calling from God as we consider what sort of work He intends for us to discover and employ. Though there was nothing earth-shattering or especially profound, he covered some important ground, which fostered some great discussion and reflection. I would happily encourage anyone who is interested in the notion that God might call us to particular work to read these chapters and discuss them further with thoughtful friends.

The second half of the book is ultimately a "how to succeed in the workplace" guide. This was the less helpful part of the book, as these chapters mostly felt like vastly underdeveloped descriptions of the vital workplace traits of endurance, character, integrity, frugality, mentoring, discipline, skill, humility, weighing your words, family, and boundaries and balance. I certainly valued the topics, but these sorts of things cannot be adequately unpacked in the course of just a few pages. Frankly, I feel as if I had read all of this content elsewhere, in much more compelling and engaging ways.

My final critique of the book is my disappointment with the "Seasoned Advice" that followed each chapter. These words of wisdom from various "experts" felt especially trite at times and often very disconnected from the chapter which preceded it and upon which it was supposed to expound or clarify. It even seemed a few times as if the seasoned advisers were indirectly contradicting what the author had just written. Frankly, I thought that these segments added very little to the book and could have been excluded to allow the author to cover his intended content more comprehensively.

To be sure, much of my disappointment with the book may be the simple fact that I am a decade or more older than its primary audience. Twenty-something college graduates may find this book much more helpful than I did, and I certainly think it has much to offer any reader pondering these issues of calling and vocation. But I would have preferred if the author had tried to cover fewer topics and instead pressed into some of the nuance and finer details of the most important ideas which he had to offer. This book certainly isn't a total loss, but I'll keep looking for something to more thoroughly address some of the big picture questions that are relevant to my own situation as I look towards the next chapter of ministry to which God is calling me.

The author of this book does an excellent job challenging the reader to think through his or her values and ideals regarding career, family, and God given talents and abilities. It is so easy to get distracted by today's fast paced, instant gratification society where money is often a primary basis for so many decisions, including one's career. This book challenges the reader to take the time to assess God's ideals, personal values, and natural abilities and to determine if these critical elements are alligned in a potential career. The seasoned advice at the end of each chapter from experienced and successful Christians is most helpful and inspiring. This book will give its readers something to think about if they are willing to take the time to think critically through the philosophies and questions posed by Colin Creel.

This book is absolutely fantastic! The author successfully intertwines sound scriptural advice with personal anecdotes to create an engaging read that is both powerful and influential. Once I started reading it, I literally could not put it down! Above all, I believe that this God-centered wisdom applies to individuals from all ages and walks of life, whether you are a young college graduate searching for that first job or you are simply looking to grasp something "more" from life. The seasoned advice at the end of each chapter also provides keen insight on life lessons from prominent contemporary leaders, and the free study guide I found on Creel's website proves choice as well. I have read dozens of books pertaining to one's calling; however, this book definitely stands alone! I highly recommend it!

As with his first book, Perspectives, Mr. Creel offers an uplifting, introspective examination of what is most important when making life decisions--what does God want for us? How can we merge our ambitions with His plan for us? How can we find meaning even in a career that doesn't seem particularly God-centered? Rather than simply providing a handbook for a successful "job search," he provides first the framework for self-examination that is necessary before pursuing the actual work itself. If you are looking to really delve into your calling and to find the work that will most inspire and satisfy you and God's plan for you, this book provides just that vehicle.

I found the book to be very helpful and insightful. I'm currently at the point in my life where I'm beginning to "navigate my career and my calling." Now more than ever, I feel I need Christian wisdom guiding my decisions, and this book does just that. It provides thoughtful, well-versed insight into discerning your career path and offers actual advice from successful Christian men and women currently in the business world. If you're trying to figure out how to pair your spiritual walk with your vocation, I highly recommend this book.
