Transforming Daily Work into a Divine Vocation

Introduction

During the last few decades there has been an increasing interest in the connection between our faith and our work, along with the growth of resources and organizations to bring the two into dialogue. Despite this, most Christians continue to feel that their daily work is less valuable than that of pastors, missionaries, or full-time workers in a religious organization.

Purpose and Content

In a fresh and practical way, this book sets out the biblical, historical, and theological grounds for challenging this commonly felt view. It includes a range of engaging personal case studies that demonstrate the profound effect integrating one''s work up into one''s faith can have—relationally, institutionally, and societally as well as evangelistically, pastorally, and missionally.

Addressing Modern Challenges

Attention is also given to the increasingly addictive, fragmented, and precarious nature of work today, and to how we can spiritually find our way to discerning and expressing our unique God-given vocation.

Final Reflections

The final section of the book considers whether any of our work has eternal value, and retells a compelling parable of what this might look like.
