Inhaltsangabe

For most people, the idea of laboring in God's vineyard means volunteering at church or taking a missions trip. The workaday world doesn't count. According to author Vera Jackson, however, this concept needs to change. Everyday jobs are not only a way that God blesses believers, but actually part of his divine plan to expand his kingdom.Packed with examples, real-life stories, and practical tips, this book helps readers grow in righteousness while reaching the lost. When we invite the Holy Spirit to use us on the job to train us in godliness, blessings will flow and the kingdom will grow. Chapters conclude with hands-on tools such as self-evaluation sheets, reflection questions, and memory verses.
