We spend most of our lives at work––teaching, cleaning, filing, building, and managing. Yet often Christians feel as if our "nine to five" employment possesses little relevance to their Sunday morning rituals. Nothing should be further from the truth. The everyday work of a Christian is our opportunity to serve and worship the Creator.
With the proper perspective, work can be seen as a blessing from God. In Where’s God on Monday? the authors challenge their readers to reconnect the fragments of their "work" and "church" lives to uncover one life, sacred and productive.
