About this title

Synopsis

Do you struggle to find joy in your work and peace in your rest? In Work and Rest God’s Way, pastor and author Scott LaPierre helps you discover a biblical balance that brings purpose to both your labor and your rest. This Christ-centered book reveals how Scripture speaks to the heart of our daily work, exposing laziness and workaholism alike, and pointing you to the Sabbath rhythm God designed for life.

Combining deep biblical teaching with practical insight, you’ll learn how to:

• See your work as a calling and a blessing
• Reject laziness without embracing overwork
• Enjoy true rest in Christ rather than exhaustion or anxiety
• Balance productivity and Sabbath-centered peace
• Apply God’s purposes to your vocation, home, and relationships

Whether you’re overwhelmed by your to-do list, worn out from constant striving, or simply looking for God’s perspective on work and rest, Work and Rest God’s Way opens up Scripture’s gift of joy in all you do.

Perfect for: personal study, small group teaching, pastoral counseling, and anyone seeking biblical freedom from workaholism and unrest.

From the Back Cover

"Scott LaPierre wonderfully reconciles the tension between work and rest by resisting the celebrated extremes of workaholism and play by relying on the principles laid out in God's Word."
Kirk Smith--Church planter, pastor, and Executive Director for the Illinois Christian Home Educators (ICHE)

We spend an average of 90,000 hours, or about ten years, working. Hopefully, we find such a large investment of time and energy enjoyable and fulfilling, but for many people, work is the worst part of their day and of their life. In Work and Rest God's Way, you will:

• Find the blessings God has for you in your labor
• Learn how to put off laziness and put on diligence (both physically and spiritually)
• Discover the quiet, restful life that's pleasing in God's sight
• Determine the balance between work and rest for your busy life
• Read together as a family to help your children value work and responsibility

Whether you're a man or woman, young or old, this book will help you enjoy both work and rest as God intended. As a father of eight, Pastor Scott knows how hard it is to motivate children to work. He shares what has been successful for him and his wife, Katie.
