Synopsis

You are not what you do. So often, in America, we define who we are by what we do. We introduce ourselves by our job titles. We ask, “What do you do?” to be polite in small talk. We define others by their occupation. But there are good reasons to connect what you do with your time, whether that is 9-to-5 work, or managing a household full of children. God created us to work, not as judgment, but in cooperation with a mandate given to humanity long before the fall. Your work isn’t who you are, but it is central to why you are here. When we get that confused, our work can be the most frustrating aspect of our lives. So, what now? Editors Russell Moore and Andrew T. Walker of the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC) assemble leading voices to frame the issue with a gospel-centered perspective. The Gospel for Life series gives every believer a biblically-saturated understanding of the most urgent issues facing our culture today, because the gospel is for all of life.

Goodreads review by David on October 30, 2019

Work. It seems to be an area of contention in the world today. The idea towards work for a lot of people, dare I say the majority, is that they would not have to work. But in the divine economy that the Lord Jesus Christ has set up, work is a part of it. Having the right attitude about it is crucial......more

Goodreads review by Bill on June 27, 2017

The Gospel for Life series is meant to assist pastors and church leaders to answer urgent questions that people are asking, questions that the church isn’t always immediately ready to answer. Each book in the series is structured the same: What are we for? What does the gospel say? How should the Ch......more

Goodreads review by Dan on October 24, 2017

Very good content in here and a very good chapter on connection our Sundays to our Mondays in regards to teaching our congregants how valuable their work is. My only negative is the various authors at times made me feel like I was rereading as there were similar points and identical quotes.......more
