Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Many Christians have a vague sense that their secular work is insignificant compared to the work of Christian ministry.Your Work Matters to God presents a liberating--and thoroughly scriptural--demonstration of just how important secular work really is to God.

5.0 out of 5 stars Is my work important to God? YES!, September 23, 1999
By A Customer
Trying to determine what God wants you to do with your life is extremely tough. (An understatement!)Bill Hendricks and co-author Doug Sherman have done an excellent job telling the reader exactly why his or her work is important, and why it is important to THE Creator of all work. If you are "searching for significance", "Your Work Matters To God" is a definite read!

5.0 out of 5 stars God is interested in every aspect of your life, March 19, 2000
By Anthony Chia (Singapore) - See all my reviews
Many Christians think that God is only interested in the `spiritual' things like going to church, evangelism. For many years, I suspect such views lack something but couldn't prove why. Is it possible that the God who creates my physical body and brains be so unconcern that I need to eat to live and that work is needed to produce food? Isn't Adam commanded to work in the garden? If work is really irrelevant to God, why are we spending half of our waking lives at work?

This book has addressed many of the burning questions. Yes, God is interested in every aspect of your life - your body, family & work! You can integrate religion with work and business! God has something to say about why he wants you to work, what kind of job to do and how to handle the unpleasant aspects of work, anything you name it.

If you seriously want to glorify God every minute of your life, you should not hesitate to spend a few hours reading this book that can change your eternity! Books like this is rare!

5.0 out of 5 stars Yes, God Does Care About Your Work!, July 5, 2004
In my humble opinion, Sherman and Hendricks have written one of the best works I have ever read on integrating faith and career.

The book's major themes include:

1. The secular view of work vs. biblical view of work.
2. Despite the effects of sin in the workplace, God does care about our careers!
3. Working for God gives much more dignity to work instead of working just to satisfy and insecure ego (fleeting accomplishments and praise from fellow employees).

Included is an excellent section for those considering a call to the ministry. Food for thought: just because God may not call you to vocational ministry does not mean you and your work are insignificant! As a matter fact, more Christians need to see their current jobs as God's place for them to minister to others for His glory!

Read the book and be encouraged to have a different and eternal perspective on your job!

Highly recommended!
