Let Your Life Speak : Listening for the Voice of Vocation

---

Outline: "Is the life I am living the same as the life that wants to live in me?" With this searching question, the author begins an insightful and moving meditation on finding one's true calling. This book is an openhearted gift to anyone who seeks to live authentically. The book's title is a time-honored Quaker admonition, usually taken to mean "Let the highest truths and values guide everything you do." But the author interprets those words, drawing on his own search for selfhood. "Before you tell your life what truths and values you have decided to live up, let your life tell you what truths you embody, what values you represent." Vocation does not come from willfulness, no matter how noble one's intentions. It comes from listening to and accepting "true self" with its limits as well as its potentials. Sharing stories of frailty and strenth, of darkness and light, the author shows that vocation is not a goal to be achieved but a gift to be achieved. As we live more deeply into the selfhood that is our birdright gift, we find not only personal fulfillment. We find communion with others and ways of serving the world's deepest needs.
