How do I find God's will for my vocation? Book recommendation

The most helpful and to-the-point book I have read recently on finding God's will for vocation is "Just Do Something - a liberating approach to finding God's will" by Kevin Deyong. 

In a brief Foreword, Joshua Harris says that this is his new go-to book on the subject of God’s will and decision making. 

I am inclined to agree with him, at least for those who are looking for a kind of entry level book.

I found Chapter 9 in particular very good related to vocational direction decision making. It is entitled, "Work, Wedlock, and God's will" and it unpacks the means of grace available for discerning God's will in making a job or career decision.  The "steps" include searching the Scriptures,  getting  wise counsel,  praying  and making  a decision...and then moving forward in trust and faith in God.

The book can be purchased at the CLC bookstore or through Amazon books:

Hope you find it as good a read as I did.
