"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord" ( Colossians 3:23 ). And "the integrity of the upright guides them" ( Proverbs 11:3 ). These seven stories about vocation, calling and integrity, retold in our own words, include an actor who refused to sell his dream, a teacher whose students became his symphony, a stone cutter who wanted to be someone else, a champion who called his own shot out, a boy whose life changed eight days before Christmas, a parable of three rings and a gladiator who would not be corrupted by power. Each ends with a takeaway for sermons or reflection.
