A thorough examination of what the Bible says about all the kinds of work that God might give us to do.

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.
