Can welding a gatepost bring glory to God? Does ironing your children's uniforms help you grow as a disciple? Will your new crime prevention strategy do anything to further the kingdom?

To all three Ian Coffey says a resounding 'yes'. With lively Bible teaching and drawing on a wealth of real-life stories, he shows how work was part of God's good plan for men and women - given to us so we can make a creative contribution in his world.

Whatever your work, God is interested in it, God can transform it, and God wants to use it - for his glory.

    The Good Book Stall

    Average rating of0.0

    For many of us the world of work dominates so much of our lives and involves a significant proportion of our time. Coffey opens this book with a telling quote of a man who told him ‘I often sit in church after a hard week at work handling all kinds of pressures and I sit there thinking “This is completely irrelevant to my life. You simply haven’t got a clue about living in my world.”’ We divide the world of secular and church life with little or no opportunity to merge the two for fear that we will become tainted but Coffey skilfully sets out to undo this unhealthy myth. God is passionate about our daily lives and the way we live them and Working It Out is one most of us should take to heart. It is rare to find an effective, practical book that is infused with healthy reality and quality biblical teaching that can be put into use by anyone. This book will give the individual confidence and inspiration to take their Christian lifestyle into the world of work. It will provide the small group leader a quality resource for a season’s Bible studies that are rooted in the world where their folk spend so much of their life. It is also a book that could be used as a well-spring for a sermon series to prevent what is taught on a Sunday being irrelevant for the rest of the week
