"Christian vocation," says Kathleen Cahalan, "is about connecting our stories with God's story." That is the basis for
The Stories We Live, in which Cahalan rejuvenates and transforms vocation from a static concept to a living, dynamic reality.
Drawing from biblical narratives, her own experience, and the personal stories of others, Cahalan discusses how each of us is called
by God,
to follow,
as I am,
from grief,
for service,
in suffering,
through others,
within God. The various callings that we receive throughout life ground our identity in relationship to others and to God. Readers of this book will come away with a renewed vision for what they do and who they are."
