Book Description: Helps readers work through some of
the life-molding decisions we all face, addressing questions like
Why do we work? and What s my calling in life?
Graduating college. Landing that first job. Considering a job change
or even a career change. When we find ourselves at such crossroads,
it is important to stop and reflect before taking the next step. In
Crossroads, author Colin Creel seeks to navigate the murky waters of
career and calling by looking at the biblical view of calling,
recognizing that each of us is here for a reason, and offering
practical guidelines on seizing career opportunities.
In addition to the author s thoughts, readers will encounter advice
from leaders in business, Christian ministry, the arts, and
education. Each chapter s Points to Ponder encourage readers to go
deeper in their thoughts and discussions on the subject of calling
and career. Readers are reminded that none of us is here by
accident, and there are no accidental occupations. Everyone must
pursue the talents and gifts God has afforded them.

God created us for a purpose. Finding our calling, purpose,
career - what God wants us to do in our lives is something that all
of us wrestle with. Some find out quickly in life, others find
out later in life, and some never find out. This book is a
wonderful guide and will help direct you to discover your own
calling.
Scripture based, it is a good book for young adults to read
before they decide what career they will choose. It is also good for
those who are reexamining their life and searching for a new path to
take.
I'm giving a copy to each of my "twentysomething" children.
