Every Good Endeavor: Connecting Your Work to God's 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
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.

Mine take on this book: You're more loved than you could ever imagine. Finding peace in my faith has set me free. Sure, I work at a hospital, but at the end of the day, I'm just a child of God who happens to be a nurse. I've come to understand that all kinds of work have value. We're made to work, and it doesn't matter what job we do.
Every job is essential, whether you're a pastor, a doctor, or anything else. Our true identity isn't about what we do for a living but in our relationship with Christ. That realization frees us to serve without being tied down by our job titles. We're here to serve, and our ultimate boss is the Lord.
