FOR KIDS: “Work with God” by Kevin Weiner and Jonathan Fitzgerald
God created work, but sin made work tiring. Through Jesus’s work on the cross, we no longer work to prove ourselves or find our value. Our value and purpose is found in Jesus, which enables us to work simply to honor God and serve others!

Kingdom Calling: Vocational Stewardship for the Common Good by Amy Sherman
Proverbs 11:10 celebrates the tsaddiqim—the people who see everything they have as gifts from God to be stewarded for his purposes—as they pursue their vocation with an eye to the greater good. Amy Sherman, director of the Center on Faith in Communities and scholar of vocational stewardship, uses the tsaddiqim as a springboard to explore how, through our faith-formed calling, we announce the kingdom of God to our everyday world.

Called: The Crisis and Promise of Following Jesus Today by Mark Labberton
What are our lives in this world about? What are we to make of being human? Why are we here? Is there a reason we are alive, and, if so, how would we know what that is? This book examines how the most urgent call upon God’s people is to live as followers of Jesus—living and practicing who and why we are is our Christian vocation whenever and wherever we may be. Will you answer the call?

Every Good Endeavor by Tim Keller with Katherine Leary Alsdorf
With deep conviction and often surprising advice, Keller shows readers that biblical wisdom is immensely relevant to our questions about work today. In fact, the Christian view of work—that we work to serve others, not ourselves—can provide the foundation of a thriving professional and balanced personal life. Keller shows how excellence, integrity, discipline, creativity, and passion in the workplace can help others and even be considered acts of worship—not just of self-interest.
