Connecting Your Work to God's Work

Every Good Endeavor

Timothy Keller

In today's increasingly competitive and insecure economic environment, we often question the reason for work: why am I doing this? Why is it so hard? And what can I do about it? Work may seem just a means to an end: we do it to earn the money to enjoy life outside the workplace. Here, Timothy Keller argues that God's plan is radically more ambitious: he actually created us to work. We are to work together to make the world a better place, to help each other, and so to find purpose for our lives. Our faith should enhance our work, and our work should develop our faith.With deep insight, Timothy Keller draws on essential and relevant biblical wisdom to address our questions about work. There is grace available if we have taken the wrong attitude, idolising money and using our careers to glorify ourselves rather than God. This book provides the foundations for a work-life balance where we can thrive both personally and professionally. Keller shows how through excellence, integrity, discipline, creativity and passion in the workplace we can impact society for good.Developing a better attitude to work releases us to serve others humbly, to worship God everyday, and leaves us deeply fulfilled.

"All of us look to something to assure ourselves we have spent our lives well." 

Simply because one spends so much time at work, it is closely linked to our identity. So where does one's identity as a Christian come in? I love how Keller broaches many issues that come to mind at work: is this fulfilling, ethical, etc? And gives good examples on how to deal with it. 

This book inspires one to work hard for God and shows how work was part of the original plan from the very beginning. It is also one of those books which compel you to keep turning them pages!
