This little book is a concise but practical guide on discerning the state of life to which God is calling each one of us, with sound and practical advice on how we ought to go about following that call.
After explaining the necessity of following one's vocation in life, the author examines each of the different states we can be called to — i.e. matrimony, virginity, the religious state and the priesthood — explaining their requirements, privileges and obligations, including such issues as mixed marriages and the three evangelical counsels.
Based on the teaching of the Church and the example of the Saints, the author offers some practical insight and advice on how to discern a vocation, the signs of a religious vocation, how parents can and ought to foster religious vocations in their children, the possible obstacles one may encounter in following one's vocation, how to overcome them and the sinfulness of frustrating or preventing the vocation one is called to.
In short, this book is a must read for any teenager or young adult trying to discern what could be God's will for them in life, and how to answer that call in order to do His will and thus more easily to save one's soul.
