Lifework is a unique approach to discovering the presence of God in all that we do. A special emphasis is placed on the unique, personal vocation and mission to which we are called. Written in a user-friendly style, Lifework is particularly relevant for high school, college and young adult age groups, yet has application for all believers wanting to seek God's will and purpose.

Using a step-by-step approach, the reader makes a spiritual journey beginning with the universal call in Baptism to be holy. This is followed by discovery of vocation and a particular state of life, then a section on mission and purpose in fulfilling God's individual plan. There is a special section on careers.

The reader will develop an awareness of his individual talents, gifts, abilities, occupational preferences, and eductional options. These areas become integrated with the ever-present call from God to a wonderful plan, unique for every believer. For the first time, vocation, mission, and lifework choices (including career) are offered in one book. Illustrated.

"This is a wonderful book for fostering vocations among youth and adults alike. Dr. Sarkisian is especially gifted at capturing his young readers' interests by addressing them directly in a friendly, conversational language while impressing adult readers by the simple wisdom of his words. He brilliantly instructs his readers - young and old - of the great value of each different vocation in the Church, and effectively gives them the preliminary tools for discernment of their own vocation. The youth will certainly find this book entertainingly helpful and easy to read, while parents and teachers will delight in its careful organization and concreteness that will surely enable them to aid and encourage their youth better in finding their purpose in life'."
