"What should I do with my life? What should I major in? What career should I choose? Should I get married? What if I can't find a job that I want? How do I balance work and family life? Twenty-first-century North Americans struggle with questions of vocation and calling, and parish priests, spiritual fathers, lay counselors, parents, teachers, youth workers-those whom we regularly turn to for guidance affirm this. In this volume, theologians steeped in Eastern and Orthodox traditions of Christianity write expressly on the topic of vocation. Khaled Anatolios, Deborah Malacky Belonick, John Barnet, Stanley Samuel Harakas, Demetrios S. Katos, Paul Meyendorff, Theodore Stylianopoulos, and Paul Nadim Tarazi offer wisdom for those who seek to know Christ at work in the world and in their lives."
