Publisher's Synopsis
A weekday devotional to help Christians connect the gospel to their vocation and appreciate the eternal significance of their work-no matter what it is-from the entrepreneur, thought leader, and bestselling author of Redeeming Your Time.
Perhaps you feel as if the work you do carries less eternal impact than the work of a pastor or missionary. But that's not how God sees it. Whatever it looks like day to day, your work is ministry and central to God's plans to restore fallen creation.
As the days of creation reveal, God is quite familiar with work himself. He created humans with unique giftings and interests, specifically so we can pursue his redemptive work in partnership with him.
The Word Before Work features 260 readings-one for every workday of the year-to help you see how your work connects to God's work in the world. The first four weeks set the foundation by exploring:
what work means in light of the biblical narrative
why our work matters
five ways these truths inform how we should work today
The rest of this devotional takes you on a journey through Scripture to explore God's perspective on the work he has called you to do.
Whether you're an entrepreneur, barista, stay-at-home parent, CEO, or coach, The Word Before Work affirms how God created you for work, why it matters, and the ways it holds significance both now and for eternity.
