About this listen

HOW CAN I RECONCILE MY PROFESSIONAL LIFE WITH MY SPIRITUAL ASPIRATIONS?
In this clear presentation of the theology of work, pastor and New York Times bestselling author Timothy Keller invites us to live our calling to follow Christ in the workplace. From Keller's deep biblical knowledge and experience with both young professionals and senior leaders comes a series of practical advice to use the Gospel as a 'new compass' to navigate our professional lives.
Starting with the premise that work preceded the Fall and thus grants dignity to human nature, Keller demonstrates that we can serve others through our professional efforts. Better even, he shows how excellence, integrity, discipline, creativity, and passion can be considered acts of worship.

The perfect book for those who struggle to feel connected to God and find meaning in their work life.

This book is very well narrated with real-life stories to back up the author's view on the religious Christian attitude towards work. Work needs to be done with passion whilst serving the work. Whilst at work our focus should only be that of our job and & the tasks at hand; we should keep our personal lives outside the work place.

In this life we will never achieve the complete perfect picture that we want our work to be, no matter how hard we try and no matter how menial or how responsible a job maybe. It is like someone painting the perfect tree. They spent whatever time they had left to live and only managed to paint one perfect leaf. When this person died they found the perfect tree in the afterlife, the exact same one they wanted to paint during their time on Earth. This story the author refers to as "Leaf by Niggle," by J.R.R Tolkien. Meaning? The little achievements we manage in our jobs are considered extremely precious in God's eyes. God will give us our complete aspiration and desire of hearts of our hard efforts in the Kingdom of Heaven, that otherwise can never be achieved during our earthly lives.

I have a particularly 'immersive' way of reading books... I read a physical book while listening to the audiobook.

in some instances the audio and physical books diverge - and you get a feel of the 'editing' process in the development of the book.

With this audiobook there are differences between the spoken and written text that are simply misreads by the narrator... and while in general these do not impact the text... there are a few places where the meaning of the text is obscured by the miss read.

I like the narrators voice - the performance is good and well paced... but i suspect that there is a lack of editorial review...

So in review - I like this book, it's thought provoking... but read the book along with the audiobook to get the whole picture...

Good content... with narration blips...

This book is great for anyone who wants a better understanding of what drives them in work, how work should be viewed and the overall worklife of a believer. I will be going through this book again.

Gave a lot more insight than expected

This book is one I wished I'd read before starting my professional career. It perfectly articulates, enforces and encourages the foundation of faith and work. I highly recommend it to be read whenever needed. In fact, at least once or twice a year. Definitely going to be reading it again myself.

A must read
