Many books about manifestation and the Law of Attraction place all the power on you.
If you can control your thoughts, raise your vibration, and focus hard enough, you can bend reality to your will. When it works, you get the credit. When it doesn't, the burden is yours too.
The Divine Contract offers a different way of understanding purpose, provision, and power.
In this book, Michael Whitehouse argues that calling is not about mastering the Universe - it's about working with God. The desire you feel to do meaningful work isn't random or self-generated; it was placed in you intentionally. You are free to pursue it. But you are not meant to carry the results alone.
The premise is simple:
God offers a deal. You commit to the work He has put before you, using the gifts you've been given. In return, God provides what you need to continue - not always what you want, but what is required for the mission.
This is not about "thinking your way" to success.
It's not about controlling outcomes.
And it's not about pretending you can manage the power of the Universe by yourself.
In The Divine Contract, your role is obedience, responsibility, and action. God's role is provision. That distinction is not limiting - it's deeply comforting. You are no longer alone, trying to force results through willpower or belief. You are partnered.
The book balances spiritual insight with practical reality. Michael addresses money, work, and sustainability directly, explaining how provision flows through real-world channels - jobs, businesses, creative work, and community - rather than through wishful thinking. The final chapters offer concrete, tactical guidance drawn from decades of lived experience building businesses aligned with calling.
If you're drawn to meaningful work but exhausted by the idea that everything depends on you getting it "right," The Divine Contract offers a steadier, more grounded alternative.
You don't have to bend reality.
You just have to show up - and let God handle what you were never meant to control.
