Every Good Endeavor, which released Nov. 13 , deals with the important topic of work and vocation. This week only, WTS Books is offering the first copy at 70% off (about $8.10). I’ve already read the entire book (see my review) and consider it the best book I’ve ever read on the subject of God and work.
When I saw it come out, I was immediately intrigued, since Keller first introducing me to Dorothy Sayers some years ago, and in particular her essay Why Work?. That essay was instrumental to me when I wrote Thriving at College.
Keller’s book is divided into three parts:
God’s Plan for Work
Chapters: The Design of Work, The Dignity of Work, Work as Cultivation, Work as Service.
Our Problems with Work
Chapters: Work Becomes Fruitless, Work Becomes Pointless, Work Becomes Selfish, Work Reveals Our Idols
The Gospel and Work
Chapters: A New Story for Work, A New Conception of Work, A New Compass for Work, New Power for Work.
The book’s Intro is available as a free PDF. The book also includes an Epilogue on Leading People to Integrate Faith and Work.
