| I was introduced to this book by Dr. H.K Lee in Seminary! Much thought, much direction, a clear understanding of your calling and your ministry! |
| Let Your Life Speak: Listening for the Voice of Vocation by Jossey-Bass Jouney Inward or out of myself |
I read the first 80 pages of this book carefully, but just looked at the subjects afterwards. I don't think the book helped me because I matured as I quit focusing on myself. This book suggessts the opposite.
Palmer writes very well about this journey, but I didn't learn what most of us need- to be lees self-preoccupied.
Sorry, I would not recommend the book, though I know many would be impressed by it. |

| Palmer does a brilliant job of captivating his audience with his thoughts and life story. There are many wonderful quotes in this book that resonated deeply with me. It would make a great gift for a recent college graduate or any other person who wants to know more about themselves. This book makes you think about the person you have become and the person that you can become using your own tools. |

| The old Quaker adage, "Let your life speak," spoke to author Parker J. Palmer when he was in his early 30s. It summoned him to a higher purpose, so he decided that henceforth he would live a nobler life. "I lined up the most elevated ideals I could find and set out to achieve them," he writes. "The results were rarely admirable, often laughable, and sometimes grotesque.... I had simply found a 'noble' way of living a life that was not my own, a life spent imitating heroes instead of listening to my heart." Thirty years later, Palmer now understands that learning to let his life speak means "living the life that wants to live in me." It involves creating the kind of quiet, trusting conditions that allow a soul to speak its truth. It also means tuning out the noisy preconceived ideas about what a vocation should and shouldn't be so that we can better hear the call of our wild souls. There are no how-to formulas in this extremely unpretentious and well-written book, just fireside wisdom from an elder who is willing to share his mistakes and stories as he learned to live a life worth speaking about. --Gail Hudson |
