Do you want to find joy and purpose in all you do?"Work and Rest God's Way is a welcome contribution as Christians rediscover the doctrine of vocation in all of its practicality and spiritual richness."Dr. Gene Edward Veith-Provost at Patrick Henry College, director of the Cranach Institute at Concordia Theological Seminary, and author of God at WorkWe spend an average of 90,000 hours, or about ten years, working. Hopefully, we find such a large investment of time and energy enjoyable and fulfilling, but for many people, work is the worst part of their day and of their life. In Work and Rest God's Way, you will: Find the blessings God has for you in your laborLearn how to put off laziness and put on diligence (both physically and spiritually)Discover the quiet, restful life that's pleasing in God's sightDetermine the balance between work and rest for your busy lifeExperience the peace that comes from resting in JesusWhether you're a man or woman, young or old, this book will help you enjoy both work and rest as God intended. Families will also benefit from reading together. As a father of eight, Pastor Scott knows how hard it is to motivate children to work. He shares what has been successful for him and his wife, Katie.Endorsed by prominent ministry leaders: "God commands us to work. And God also commands us to rest. Scott LaPierre shows how the Bible discloses the sinfulness of laziness and 'idleness, ' and he unpacks the contrary Biblical virtue of 'diligence.' But he also shows how our relationship to work can become sinful. Workaholism turns work into an addiction that can lead to burnout and idolatry. The Biblical principle of the Sabbath counters those tendencies with physical rest, the cessation of busyness necessary for spiritual devotion, and the life of faith, in which we realize that our salvation comes not by our work, but by resting in Christ.
