Every Good Endeavor: Connecting Your Work to God's Plan for the World

By Timothy J. Keller and Katherine Leary Alsdorf

Book Overview

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

Tim Keller, pastor of New York's Redeemer Presbyterian Church and the New York Times bestselling author of The Reason for God, has taught and counseled students, young professionals, and senior leaders on the subject of work and calling for more than twenty years. Now he pulls his insights into a thoughtful and practical book for readers everywhere.

With deep conviction and often surprising advice, Keller shows readers that biblical wisdom is immensely relevant to our questions about work today. In fact, the Christian view of work--that we work to serve others, not ourselves--can provide the foundation of a thriving professional and balanced personal life. Keller shows how excellence, integrity, discipline, creativity, and passion in the workplace can help others and even be considered acts of worship--not just of self-interest.

Customer Reviews

This is WHY we work!

Dr. Keller packs a great deal of wisdom in this book. I am making my older teens read this with me. He explains the need we have for significance in our work, how that work is intended to benefit the world, and much more. I highly recommend it.
