This book has been a tremendous blessing to our family and an encouragement for each one of us to work harder and with more joy in the task. I highly recommend it for the whole family!! We have somewhere lost the motivation to work-that being, bringing glory to God, taking care of what He has given us and knowing that a job worth doing is worth doing well. The author uses every day simple stories to bring forth some long needed truths to the areas of work. The author dispels many of today's common thinking patterns concerning work, such as laziness, slothfulness, greediness and half-heartedness. Instead he motivates us to reach for the greater good of a job well done. I highly recommend this book to families who wish to encourage their children (and themselves) to what the true purposes of work are.

One of the best things my father gave me was a work ethic. I want my kids to have it too. A good work ethic will give them choices in life and make them a pleasure to employ. Bob Schultz gives us 35 short chapters that each contain lessons in bringing out the joy and value of work.
I read Created for Work out loud to my 11 year old son. My 14 year old daughter didn't want to miss out, so she joined us. They both loved it and even requested readings on days when time was short. A book about work that an 11 and 14 year old liked? Yes. It was good for me too. Even with a work ethic, I struggle with laziness and Schultz provides the antidote. Though it's geared toward young men, all could benefit from this biblically based guide to work.

Bob Schultz has done it again. Just as in his earlier book, Boyhood and Beyond, this book is full of short lessons taught with fitting and interesting stories from his own life. We've been using these books for family study, and we're all (male and female) getting a lot out of them. Bob Schultz writes as a humble, hard-working Christian who's using the special talents God gave him, including excellent writing skills. and his books inspire us all to seek to serve the Lord in the way we conduct our lives and businesses. This is one of the best devotionals for families I've come across, and I've been suggesting it to friends who have sons from the upper elementary years and up. For those with only younger children, I'd recommend "Our 24 Family Ways, by Clay Clarkson.
