This breakthrough series powerfully and practically recovers the biblical teaching on calling and work. During our lives, we spend an average of 88,000 hours at work and only 4000 at church. Yet most people today equate calling with only certain professions and professional "clergy". This series develops a comprehensive theology of work and calling from a variety of biblical approaches-Daniel, Zaccheus, Nehemiah, Genesis 1 and 2, Paul's letters and more. It integrates the riches of the contemplative tradition so we can bring it into our workplaces, homes and communities. Concluding with a Daily Office (available on our website) and a Commissioning Service for people into their workplaces, this series marks one of the most important in New Life's history.
