📕 This book will help you rediscover how work can become a path to being blessedly fruitful forever.
Our work is not just for this life, but for "eternity," as a portion of it will carry over into the new heavens and the new earth—Scripture records that we will work with perfected humanity and in resurrected bodies.
Stevens brings the essence of his life's research and teaching together in this book. Through biblical study and contemporary analysis, he reveals the meaning of work and human enterprise. This book may change the way you live, the way you work, and your soul.
❤️ Three Core Values
A Holistic Spiritual Perspective
This book rewrites the insightful discourse of the Puritan William Perkins, defining "marketplace theology" as a "science of working blessedly forever," seeking to help us understand the meaning of work in the world. This is not just a discipline that requires the mind (thinking), but also a faith practice that requires the heart (prayer) and hands (action).
