Every good endeavor connecting your work to gods work
New York Times bestselling author of The Prodigal Prophet Timothy Keller shows how God calls on each of us to express meaning and purpose through our work and careers.
“A touchstone of the [new evangelical] movement.” —The New York Times
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.

From astronomy to exegesis, from apologetics to the Global South, from being missional at home to employing our resources in the global cause, Finish the Mission aims to breathe fresh missionary fire into a new generation, as together we seek to reach the unreached and engage the unengaged. “Issues a clarion reminder of God’s enduring passion to glorify himself by blessing all nations on earth.” STEVE RICHARDSON, President, Pioneers-USA “What will it take to finish the mission? Gospel seed must fall into the ground and die. May this compelling admonition jolt the church out of complacency and into the gathering of God’s sheep from among the earth’s peoples.” DAVID SITTON, President, To Every Tribe “The authors portray well God’s rescue operation to the peoples who still have no friend to help them comprehend the Easter story.

FIREPROOF YOUR LIFE
by: Michael Catt Building a Faith that Survives the Flames! Michael Catt shows how, like the great sequoia, we can stand strong through the fiery trials of life, and even be fruitful. Using illustrations from his own life and from the new movie, FIREPROOF (produced by his congregation, Sherwood Baptist Church), Catt shows eight ways we can prepare our lives for the trials that inevitably come our way. Discussing practical issues such as temptation, marriage and finances, he reminds us that in an eroding culture we are called to stand firm in our faith. Rather than succumb to the pressure of circumstances, we can stand tall and face our challenges in Christ’s power. Life’s trials can overcome us—or they can serve us, growing us into the mature, life-giving believers God intends.
