Synopsis

Today you installed a shower/taught long division/wrote a compliance policy/cut hair/changed nine nappies/led a Bible study. Does God care what you did? Does he care how you did it? In Christian circles, there can be a lot of confusion about whether our work matters, and how our work relates to God’s work. The Bible paints a very rich picture showing us the unique significance of the Lord’s work, while also showing us all the valuable ways in which we exert ourselves in obedience to God—whether at home, for our employers, in study, in church, and in doing good. In Transforming Work, Simon Flinders and Paul Grimmond invite you to rethink the how and why of work by exploring what God tells us in his word, making sense of the Bible both praising work and lamenting it. They delve with warmth and insight into questions around relationships and responsibilities, and why ‘just get on with it’ and ‘work–life balance’ aren’t satisfying solutions to work difficulties. Ultimately, you’ll marvel with them at the day in history that transformed the meaning of your work forever. Whatever form of work God has set before you, Transforming Work will re-orient you so that your heart steers your hands in worship of God even in the most everyday of tasks.

A propos du livre

À propos des auteurs

Simon Flinders lives in Sydney's north, is married to Tamara, and is a father to three daughters. He has served as an ordained Anglican minister in Sydney for the past 25 years. He currently serves as the Archdeacon (Chief of Staff) to the Anglican Archbishop of Sydney, but for most of his 'working life' he has been a pastor in local churches where has sought to walk alongside people seeking to live for Jesus in various kinds of work. Simon has written numerous articles on the Christian life and Christian ministry. This is his first book.

Paul Grimmond loves his job at Moore College, where he trains future ministry leaders in how to love God and love people with the truth of God's word. Before college, he spent many years talking to university students about the value and place of their work and what it looks like to honour God with all that we do. Paul has written a number of other books, including 'When the Noise Won't Stop' and 'Water for My Camels'. Paul is looking forward to that day when none of our work will be vain anymore, and when we will enjoy eternal rest with our heavenly Father.
