Is there any eternal value to your day job?

Is it possible to find gospel meaning in your "secular" career?

If you really love Jesus, shouldn't you quit your job and go into full-time ministry?

How does your everyday work have anything to do with God's mission in the world?

Many marketplace Christians have wrestled with these questions in their lives and in their work. But from entrepreneurs to assembly line workers, from high-paid execs to minimum-wage hospitality staff, more Christians are becoming overwhelmingly filled with renewed purpose as they realize that their work has a role in God's kingdom plan.

In Missional Marketplace, author Erik Cooper offers his perspective through personal stories and reflections on the sacredness of all work, framing the faith and work discussion through the lenses of The Great Story, The Great Commandment, and The Great Commission. This book will create a gospel-collision between your faith, your work, and the global mission of God in this world.

After starting his career in the business world, Erik Cooper spent twelve years in full-time ministry, both on staff at a large suburban church and as a church planter in a downtown urban context, before returning to the marketplace. In addition to his role at The Stone Table (thestonetable.org), he serves as Vice-President at Community Reinvestment Foundation (crf.net), a nonprofit real estate company that owns, manages, and constructs high-quality affordable housing and assisted living facilities while investing half its profits each year into global missions through The Stone Table. In his spare time, he enjoys playing the piano, playing mediocre golf, crafting quality dad jokes, and drinking entirely too much coffee. Erik and his wife Mandy reside in Indianpolis, Indiana with their three incredible children Emma, Anna, and Austin, who make their lives so rich.
