About this audiobook
'An excellent read, especially for those who are looking at what exactly God had in mind when he called us to spend such a huge percentage of our lives in work.' Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
HOW CAN I RECONCILE MY PROFESSIONAL LIFE WITH MY SPIRITUAL ASPIRATIONS?
In this clear presentation of the theology of work, pastor and New York Times bestselling author Timothy Keller invites us to live our calling to follow Christ in the workplace. From Keller's deep biblical knowledge and experience with both young professionals and senior leaders comes a series of practical advice to use the Gospel as a 'new compass' to navigate our professional lives.
Starting with the premise that work preceded the Fall and thus grants dignity to human nature, Keller demonstrates that we can serve others through our professional efforts. Better even, he shows how excellence, integrity, discipline, creativity, and passion can be considered acts of worship.
The perfect book for those who struggle to feel connected to God and find meaning in their work life.
'There are some books that need to be read at least once a year. This is one of them.' Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
'An antidote to my workaholism and an answer to so many young people's unanswered questions about the fruitlessness of work today. Every page of this book slapped me across the face with truth. Dramatically changed my relationship with work.' Goodreads reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
'This is a must have book for anyone wrestling with reconciling their commitment and service to God and humanity, with a calling and commitment to business, professional or public service of any kind.' Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

About the author
Timothy Keller was born in Pennsylvania and educated at Bucknell University, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, and Westminster Theological Seminary. He became a Christian at university, was ordained by the Presbyterian Church in America and worked as a pastor for nine years.
He was asked to start Redeemer Presbyterian Church in Manhattan in 1989, and under his leadership the church`s congregation experienced unprecedented growth from 50 to 5000 members. His target audience consists mainly of urban professionals, whom he believes exhibit disproportionate influence over the culture and its ideas.
The `Influentials` Issue of New York Magazine featured Dr. Keller as "the most successful Christian evangelist in the city by recognizing that young professionals and artists are `disproportionately influential` in creating the country`s culture and that you have to meet this coveted demographic on its own terms."
Timothy Keller is renowned for his clear, reasoned approach to Christian apologetics and his book THE REASON FOR GOD: BELIEF IN AN AGE OF SKEPTICISM was named Book of the Year for 2008 by World Magazine.
Timothy Keller lives in New York City with his wife Kathy and sons David, Michael and Jonathan.
