Called By God: A Theology of Vocation
and Lifelong Commitment (BK 3915)
Francis Kelly Nemeck and Marie
Theresa Coombs; The Liturgical Press
A presentation of the theological foundation
and implications of living one’s life
in union with God’s will, accomplished
by defining not only what it means to
“do” God’s will, but also by defining
what “is” God’s will. This book is more
than a discussion of religious vocation.
It covers the fundamental human vocation
of accepting who one is within the
paradigm of creation, redemption and
sanctification/transformation (divinization)
by means of God’s outpouring of
love in Jesus Christ.

Commitments, and Vocational
Challenges (BK 5446)
