Your Calling Here and Now - Making Sense of Vocation

Gordon T. Smith

Editora: IVP

Sinopse

Our vocation is the outworking of how God has made us. It is not a goal on the horizon but a present reality that we are called to discern and explore. However, in the midst of our daily lives, finding meaning can prove both difficult and elusive, and we are often left wondering if we are missing out on God's purpose for our lives.
Gordon Smith invites us to reflect on our vocation and step into God's call in the present moment. When discerning our vocation feels overwhelming, Smith offers a simple question as a way forward: "At this time and place, who am I meant to be, and what am I called to do?"
Theologically and historically grounded, Your Calling Here and Now offers theological reflections and spiritual practices that will help you discern God's call on your life. Whether you are navigating career transitions or looking for meaning in the ordinary, God has a purpose for your life for the here and now.

If you're feeling the weight of what's going on in the world, this is book you need! 
Written with love and humor, Getting to a Better Place is in the zeitgeist. Inspiring men seeking a brighter future for themselves and future generations to flip the script and make change happen—one simple step at a time. Empowering women whose strengths are highlighted throughout. 
Reader quotes: 
“Not your average book; very insightful and thought-provoking. If you’re a dude, give it a try: a much different perspective on things that make a lot of sense.” Wilfrid N., Civil Servant 
“Just read Getting to a Better Place—a survival guide for men crawling out of the patriarchy like Darth Vader realizing half the universe needs better communications skills: ‘I used to mansplain but now I make space.’ This book was hilarious, eye-opening, and low key, a spiritual exfoliant. If you’re a man and tired of the patriarchy handing you emotional constipation and a fear of throw pillows—read this book. It’s giving growth, accountability, and jokes that slap.” Suminumi01, BookTok

It is Only a Very Silent Mind...

Jiddu Krishnamurti

It is only a very silent mind that can actually see - 30 May 1967 
- Conflict exists only when there are two opposing things: fear and non-fear,violence and non-violence. 
- A mind that is in a state of inquiry is entirely different from a mind that is seeking. Seeking implies effort, conformity, authority and therefore conflict.  
- Without space in which there is no boundary, the mind is incapable of comingupon immeasurable reality. 
- It is only a silent mind that can perceive, actually see, not a chattering mind, acontrolled mind, a mind that is tortured, suppressed, yielding or indulging. 
- When one has totally denied the psychological world which man has created,and the psychological structure of society of which we are, then there is spaceand silence. 
- Q: Could you de ne contemplation and meditation? 
- Q: It is not possible ever to observe totally one's own irrational thoughts. 
- Q: What does it mean to stand alone?
