<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p>Veith unpacks the Bible's teaching about the doctrine of vocation, guiding readers in discovering God's purpose and calling in those seemingly ordinary areas of life.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>Work can be a daily grind</strong>--a hard, monotonous set of thankless tasks. In the midst of the ongoing toil, many are plagued by a lack of purpose, confused as to what to do and who to become. And while some of our vocations may seem more overtly <em>meaningful</em> than others', the truth is that most of us work because we have to. It is a means to an end--survival.</p> <p>Given the enormous amount of time each of us spends <em>working</em>, we would do well to understand our callings and how God works through them.</p> <p>Here culture expert Gene Veith gives us more than a simple understanding of work--more than a catchy slogan to "do all things for the glory of God." He outlines a spiritual framework for answering questions such as: </p> <ul> <li><em>What does it mean to be a Christian businessperson or a Christian artist or a Christian lawyer, scientist, construction worker or whatever? </em></li> <li><em>How can I know what I am supposed to do with my life? </em></li> <li><em>What does it mean to raise a Christian family? And what if I don't have kids? </em></li> </ul><p>Unpacking the Bible's teaching on work, Veith helps us to see the meaning in our vocations, the force behind our ethics, and the transformative presence of God in our everyday, ordinary lives.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><strong>Gene Edward Veith Jr.</strong> (PhD, University of Kansas) is provost and professor of literature at Patrick Henry College and the director of the Cranach Institute at Concordia Theological Seminary. He has been a columnist for <em>World</em> magazine and <em>TableTalk</em>, and is the author of a number of noted books on Christianity and culture, including <em>God at Work</em>.</p>
