About this book

Most of us spend most of our waking hours at work. It takes up most of our energy and often most of our emotions. It is at times really fulfilling, and at other times utterly frustrating. It keeps a roof over our heads and food on our tables… but is there any more to work than that?

Christians can feel that what they do Monday to Friday is irrelevant to their faith; or, worse, gets in the way of them living out their faith. Others who don’t go to work in an office or factory can feel that they are of little worth.

Leader's Guide

Endorsements

I love this small group study guide series from The Good Book Company. Christians are regularly told they should spend more time studying God’s Word, but sometimes there’s not a clear plan for how to do this. These study guides provide practical, step-by-step guidance on working through books of the Bible, along with wonderful questions that encourage reflection and application. I hope churches and Christian ministries will take advantage of this wonderful resource.

Michael J. Kruger President and Professor of New Testament, Reformed Theological Seminary, Charlotte, North Carolina

The aim of the The Good Book Company is to be biblical, relevant and accessible, and nothing embodies that ethos more than their Good Book Guides. Each guide provides a framework for your group to dig into the text of Scripture for itself while providing enough of a steer to keep you on track plus useful pointers towards application. The result is a great combination of fidelity to Scripture and ease of use.

Tim Chester Crosslands Training; Author of Enjoying God

The Good Book Guides are an immensely precious resource for the church. A careful blend of helpful context and clearly-worded, searching questions which aim to help readers to uncover the meaning of the text and  apply it in responsible ways. I think these small group studies are the best available and pray that they will continue to prove helpful to local churches across the world!

Customer Reviews

5.00 stars Great Bible Study

 

God has spoken to me so much through doing this study. Just finding a Bible study on work was unusual, and I have been challenged, blessed and inspired through completing the booklet. It has caused me to look afresh at my attitudes to work and to home and church responsibilities. Thank you

4.00 stars Helpful. Easy to use

 

We are following this book in the Christian fellowship at work. I am often rushing to the meeting in the middle of the day with little (any?) prep and a head full of work thoughts. The booklet works well - I read the questions and we get a good discussion going that helps us view the challenges of work from a Christian perspective, and provides encouragement to take back into the workplace.

4.00 stars Useful resource

 

We are a church sponsored house group ranging from a student to a pensioner. We like to tackle relevant topics from a Biblical viewpoint. This book looks at work in every sense beginning with God's creating work and covers aspects such as Trouble at Work, Worry at Work and Witness at Work. The book is laid out clearly and it is straightforward for the leader. It involves active participation and opportunities for group members to share their experiences.
