Bridging the gap between Sunday and Monday, MacKenzie and Kirkland's accessible biblical theology of work shows how to integrate your faith with your job so that you can serve and worship God every day of the week. Includes exercises for small groups and individuals., Although work is the dominant activity of our everyday lives, our Monday-through-Friday work and Sunday worship seem disconnected, even worlds apart. Too many Christians feel that their spiritual life doesn't relate to their work life-or that somehow they're not serving God unless they're in full-time ministry. But we need to realize that all of us can serve God in whatever work he calls us. God is just as present with us on the job Monday morning, and every day is a new opportunity to serve him. Where's God on Monday? grapples with these issues from a biblical perspective, introducing readers to a basic theology of work. Written in fourteen engaging chapters, this book teaches us what the Bible says about work and how to work out our faith every day of the week. Each chapter includes questions and exercises for small group or individual reflection, blending theological reflection with practical application. If you're struggling with what it means to work Monday through Friday and still follow Jesus, if you want to redeem the seemingly mundane, if you ever wonder where God is on Monday, this book is for you! Book jacket., This book introduces readers to a basic biblical theology of work. It is written in fourteen engaging chapters, each of which is followed by questions and exercises for small group or individual reflection. The authors wanted a book that would straddle the divide between theological reflection and practical application in the everyday. In Alistair s research over the years, he discovered that many people were looking for an easy to read book on the subject, but not one that was lightweight or lacking in credible biblical and theological content. Most treatments were too heavy, academic, long, and inaccessible, or they were largely anecdotal. Where s God on Monday? is short enough for people to read in an afternoon, written in accessible language for the average person in the pews, yet thoughtful enough to be used as a text in Bible colleges.
