General Description:

Vocations in Scripture: Discovering & Discerning God's Call,  4-CD Set
by Scott Hahn

“Why was I put on this earth?" "What is God's will for me?" "Does the Lord have a particular call for my life?" These are the questions that have inspired generations to search for their own ultimate purpose. But be prepared, the real answers may radically transform your existence! Are you ready to progress from a mere "purpose-driven life" to a "mission-driven life"?

 

Embrace the Call

In the new four-CD series, Vocations in Scripture: Discovering & Discerning God's Call, Dr. Scott Hahn investigates the notion of "calling" as found in the Bible and Tradition. Now you'll come to a greater understanding of the various states of life within the Body of Christ as Dr. Hahn presents the underlying principle common to all vocations: the universal call to holiness. With practical insight gleaned from his extensive study and reflection on God's Word, Dr. Hahn surveys both the Old and New Testaments to examine what it really means to conform your life to the will of God. His examination of the theology of vocation from Genesis to Revelation reveals that each of us is called to accept a particular God-given "job assignment." "God's purpose for calling us to be a child of God," according to Hahn, "is to reveal Himself by name so that we can enter into an intimate interpersonal communion with Him for eternity." Therefore all our talents and energies should be directed to discerning our personal vocation in life so that we might accept our unique part in God's unfolding plan of salvation.

 

 

Live and Love Your Divine Calling

You'll examine in-depth the vocations of priesthood, religious life and Christian marriage. Each vocation is closely examined revealing unique insights into how they relate to the New Covenant inaugurated by Christ Jesus. You'll discover the sacred priesthood as an awesome vocation that serves as the conduit or pipeline of blessing for God's people. The religious life is revealed as a life of total dedication or consecration to the Lord-the goal of all Christian discipleship. And holy matrimony is portrayed as a sacramental bond shared between a man and a woman in Christ to manifest God's covenantal love and to build up the Kingdom.

 

Whatever your vocation may be, you'll come to a greater awareness of God at work in the world as you listen to Vocations in Scripture. This remarkable set will inspire you to powerfully live and love your divine calling in harmony with the other vocations within the Church. Dr. Hahn's comprehensive overview on the theology of vocation provides the perfect context to better grasp the bigger picture in your quest for holiness. Prepare to embrace your God-given vocation and mission and be empowered to encourage others to do the same!
