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.

What happens when you wake up or walk into your office and are confronted by unexpected situations that throw you off balance? Do you take time to pray and ask God for wisdom, or do you just dive in and act the best way you have been taught how? Most of us just dive into the action without any regard for divine wisdom, and the results usually show. God at Work is a devotional book that inspires us to recognize the need for God’s presence and wisdom in everything we do, including work. The Bible is filled with accounts of individuals who allowed God to guide every detail of their lives and work, and these were the most successful individuals. This devotional highlights some of the scriptures and stories that can inspire us to have more meaningful work experiences. The world’s hustle leaves very little room for us to catch our breath and reflect on our actions. Every minute invested in seeking the Lord’s guidance can yield us a hundredfold positive outcomes and greater effectiveness. While we face the demand to meet targets and deadlines, may this devotional lead us to drink from the spring that will make our work experiences more purposeful!
