Raymond Tomkinson seeks to contribute to debate on the subject and to offer a language for the articulation of God -given ambition for the world. Exploring the relationship between vocation and ambition, he teases out the difference between laudable ambition and self-serving ambition. He hopes to make the subject less unattractive and to demonstrate the laudable ambition is a valuable asset and resource to the Church for the building of the Kingdom.

For personal reflection, although the book contains sections titled ‘Pause for reflection’, helpful to individuals or as an aid to group discussion.
