About
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:
#1 The Bible begins talking about work as soon as it begins talking about anything, and it emphasizes the importance of work. God created the world as a work of art, not as a battlefield between warring cosmic forces.
#2 God not only created the world, but also cared for it. He created human beings and then commissioned them to fill the earth and subdue it. God works not only to create, but also to care for his creation.
#3 The book of Genesis leaves us with a striking fact: work was part of paradise. We often think of work as a necessary evil or even a punishment, but we cannot thrive without it.
#4 Work is so foundational to our existence that it is one of the few things we can take in significant doses without harm. Leisure and pleasure are great goods, but we can only take so much of them.
