Book Description:

How does work fit into a meaningful, God-honoring life? For some, the answer comes quickly. Others have a tough time connecting their job to their faith. Are we just to work hard, avoid immorality, and witness to coworkers?

Questions about work should go even deeper.

  • Does all work really matter? Does it matter equally?
  • Is being "true to your craft" the same thing as being faithful at work?
  • How can you use your work to promote the good of your neighbor, mankind, and the world?

The product of twenty years of thought and hundreds of interviews, Work goes beyond historical background and inspiring stories to explain the Bible's teaching on the nature, glory, misery, and eventual restoration of work. Through our work, whatever it may be, we have an opportunity to love our neighbors as ourselves-and to serve God in transforming his world.
