Most, if not all, of the "find your ideal career" books that I've read in the past included skills assessments and specific recommendations. JESUS, Career Counselor is different. While author Laurie Beth Jones doesn't ignore the reader's areas of giftedness, she encourages each reader to consider personality type, mission, and vision, as well.
I appreciate the author's use of biblical principles as the foundation for decision-making. I felt a bit confused, however, about the personality types, which are based on her book The Four Elements of Success
JESUS, Career Counselor lays out a process through which you can learn more about yourself and help to discern God's plan for your life. Through that process, the goal is to find a career path that will be pleasing to God and rewarding for you. These are certainly good goals, and I think this approach is at least as valid as the skills-assessment approach. So I would recommend this book, with the suggestion that it would be more valuable if you have first read The Four Elements of Success
