Graduating college. Landing that first job. Considering a job change—or even a career change. When we find ourselves at such crossroads, it is important to stop and reflect before taking the next step. In Crossroads, author Colin Creel seeks to navigate the murky waters of career and calling by looking at the biblical view of calling, recognizing that each of us is here for a reason, and offering practical guidelines on seizing career opportunities.

In addition to the author’s thoughts, readers will encounter advice from leaders in business, Christian ministry, the arts, and education. Each chapter’s “Points to Ponder” encourage readers to go deeper in their thoughts and discussions on the subject of calling and career. Readers are reminded that none of us is here by accident, and there are no accidental occupations. Everyone must pursue the talents and gifts God has afforded them.

“When I was just out of college and trying to figure out what I was ‘supposed’ to do with my career, I clumsily tried to seek advice from those who were more experienced. I wish I had had a resource like this at the time! Colin’s book not only provides great encouragement to make the most of our marketplace callings; it allows readers to ‘listen in’ on conversations with seasoned professionals who have some terrific insights to share.”

More on Crossroads:

“At Wake Forest Colin Creel distinguished himself as a leader in Chi Rho, our Christian men's a cappella group, and a counselor to students and parents in our Admissions Office. As an author, teacher, administrator and coach, he continues to provide wise counsel based on a profound and well-examined faith. This newest book is particularly useful for those who are discerning their calling. While it is addressed to those in their twenties, people of all generations can benefit from the wisdom and struggles Colin shares.”

“There's a lot in this book that modernity has either ignored or discounted - including common sense rooted in spiritual soil! Colin understands the importance of God's call in one's life; and how that same call can not only set forth a career, but sustain that career when it's against some of life's toughest winds. The sweet aroma of this book will last long after its covers have been shut. This is some good reading about how good decisions can deliver a good life to those who will take time to hear His voice and obey!“
