520    "I don't care for vocational books written in the United 
       States; they're too American." When Susan Maros heard this
       comment from a Malaysian colleague, she was initially 
       taken aback. Isn't the concept of calling universal? Why 
       wouldn't resources with a biblical perspective on vocation
       apply to everyone? The reality is that each of us 
       encounters our questions of calling from within a 
       particular context. In this paradigm-shifting book, Maros 
       explores how various dimensions of social location -- 
       including race, ethnicity, culture, socioeconomic status, 
       and gender -- shape our assumptions and experiences with 
       vocation. Maros helps Christians in the United States in 
       particular see how ideas about calling that emphasize 
       certainty, career paths, and personal achievement arise 
       from cultural priorities that shouldn't go unexamined, 
       such as individualism, productivity, and meritocracy. She 
       explains how unexamined "mental maps" can distort our 
       perspective and refocuses our attention on biblical 
       insights about calling as a lifelong journey. In the 
       process, she helps us find both clarity and encouragement 
       to explore the paths before us. God calls all people, yes 
       -- but calling is not a monolithic concept. Filled with 
       numerous stories from Christians in diverse communities, 
       Calling in Context invites anyone exploring questions of 
       calling to find fresh possibilities in their own identity 
       and engagement with God's mission. Reflection questions 
       and Bible study prompts are included throughout."--
