Working Blessedly Forever, Volume 1

Work, whether from home, in cyberspace, or in a factory or office, occupies a major chunk of our time, energy, and soul. This book seeks to make sense of our work in the world through adapting the pithy statement of the Puritan William Perkins to define marketplace theology as the "science of working blessedly forever." It is a science involving investigation, but not just with the head (thought), but also with heart (prayer) and hand (practice). But it is a science of working. So the book investigates a theology of work undertaken in the light of God's blessing and purpose. And our work is not just for this life but "forever," since some of it could last into the new heaven and new earth where, guess what, Scripture says we will work as fully human and resurrected beings. Stevens gathers his lifetime of research and teaching into this book showing through biblical research and contemporary analysis the meaning of work and human enterprise. It could change your lifestyle, your work style, and your soul.
Who Have You Been Called to Be?

Who am I? Why am I here? What is my purpose? How can I make a difference? These questions have to do with the topic of vocation. Vocation is more than what one does for a living in terms of one’s career. Vocation is a lens that helps believers see the larger story of who they are regarding their calling with God through faith in Jesus and how they are called to love and serve their neighbors through their everyday callings. But how can one personally and practically apply this relevant teaching of the church to the daily lives of believers? The answer is found in coaching! Coaches and ministry leaders seeking to help everyday believers find purpose and meaning in their lives will find this book invaluable. The research and practical tools contained within serve as a “technical manual” to Guse’s first book, Called2B. This book provides a biblical and theological framework for understanding how coaching can empower believers to discover and live out their authentic calling in Christ in their daily lives to make a greater kingdom impact in their different stations of life—Family, Church, Lifework, and Society. Who have you been called to be?
Working
We spend most of our waking hours working, but we rarely consider its theological meanings or implications. Is work a punishment or curse, an avenue to human flourishing or redemption, or something else? Is there a distinctively Christian approach to working? Darby Ray, lifts up key insights from Christian scripture and tradition and considers their implications for today's complex, globalized world of work.
