Redirecting: Discovering Hope in the Unexpected

Available in paperback and Kindle on Amazon. Audiobook available on most online audiobook sellers.

By Susan M. Vitalis, M.D. — Foreword by David Stevens, M.D., M.A.

Susan Vitalis was following God's call and finding extreme satisfaction in making it into a vocation. She dedicated her medical training to serving the underserved, and had practiced in 15 of the most poverty-stricken countries in the world.

But when tragedy struck, performing that calling was no longer possible. Traversing that wilderness of loneliness and uncertainty was neither simple nor easy, but with God's help, she found the wisdom to start again and make a new calling into a new vocation.

Redirecting is an authentic look into what it means to listen to not only the good but the best God has for your life.

"I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. They will come in and go out, and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep."

John 10:9-11
