This book may be helpful for some trying to understand their calling, but I think there may be other more helpful books I would recommend above this. I'm not sure the author created a solid biblical argument for the various callings he outlines in the book. There is also a quick moment where the author really lost me in his interpretation of Bathsheba's story and character. She was referred to as a mistress committing adultery, but nothing talked about the subjugation and oppression of women and that she was a rape victim by the king. I found his description of Bathsheba very telling for most of the interpretation of Scripture in this book.

There are some helpful descriptions and reflection questions that may be beneficial for some. I would take what you can and leave the rest and keep exploring Scripture and your calling with the Lord.
