Description: In the beginning, God created&#x2026;  Then what? What were we created to do? People spend most of their time working &#x2013; and that&#x2019;s how God intended it to be! But many Christians see work as a distraction, a curse to be endured between spiritual activities. As a result, their calling and contribution, their work and witness, suffer. This Pastor&#x2019;s Guide lays out a vision for our daily lives. Discipleship is not reserved for Sundays and service projects; it is faithfully lived in everyday actions in jobs, homes, and communities. Pastors, yours is a wonderful and difficult calling. This book is designed to equip you to serve your people in profound and tangible ways. --
