Cheap Let Your Life Speak: Listening for the Voice of Vocation


I recently heard Parker Palmer speak, and was left wanting to hear more, thus the reading of this book. In his speach, I had just a taste of what he had to say about vocation. He seemed to never get around to addressing that topic, although it was the title of his talk. The beginning of this book contains much wisdom regarding vocation, but soon became a discussion of Palmer's personal struggle with depression. While the early discussion on vocation was meaningful, there was too little of it, in an already short book. Admittedly, he states that it was not a "how to" book for others to follow his directions, but rather that they would be able to learn from his experiences and apply them to their own lives. I will say, it gave me the clearest picture of depression that I have ever seen. But, I was reading for vocation, and would have liked more about that.Get more detail about Let Your Life Speak: Listening for the Voice of Vocation.
