Tyler Womack engages with the hard questions of work and vocation which continue to challenge each of us. His rigorous scholarly analysis of contemporary theological engagement with these questions is still accessible by lay-people. Womack does not settle for the easy answers but rather calls his readers into a deep, creative and practical engagement with how we talk about work and vocation and how we live.

Much theological discussion on vocation trades on pious platitudes, confusing one's labor with one's vocation. Situating vocation within divine simplicity, creation out of nothing, and the role of divine and creaturely speaking, Tyler Womack avoids pious platitudes and offers a profound reflection on vocation, work, and theology through the gift of language. Vocation is less about doing than being, to be what one is called to be. This book guides us into being good creatures; it is the best contemporary work on vocation available to us
