\"\"<\/a>Tim Keller,\u00a0pastor of New York\u2019s Redeemer Presbyterian Church and\u00a0New York Times\u00a0<\/em>bestselling author of\u00a0The Reason for God<\/em>, has a new book out called\u00a0Every Good Endeavor: Connecting Your Work to God\u2019s Work<\/a><\/em> (Dutton, 2012). \u00a0(Video on the book here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

I am running a contest for this book. \u00a0Here\u2019s what you need to do: send me an email at owen.strachan [at] gmail.com by Friday, November 23, 2012 at 12pm (two days away). \u00a0Write two sentences about how you desire to better sync your work with God\u2019s greater purposes. \u00a0How can you work to his glory wherever you are and in whatever you are doing?<\/p>\n

I will choose one person from the respondents to receive a free copy of Keller\u2019s brand new book, which looks very helpful.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s some more info from the publisher:<\/p>\n

Tim Keller taught and counseled students, young professionals, and senior leaders on the subject of work and calling for more than twenty years. Now he puts his insights into a book for readers everywhere<\/a>, giving biblical perspectives on such pressing questions as:\u2028<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2022 What is the purpose of work?<\/em>
\n\u2028\u2022 How can I find meaning and serve customers in a cutthroat, bottom-line-oriented workplace?\u2028<\/em>
\n\u2022 How can I use my skills in a vocation that has meaning and purpose?<\/em>
\n\u2028\u2022 Can I stay true to my values and still advance in my field?<\/em>
\n\u2028\u2022 How do I make the difficult choices that must be made in the course of a successful career?<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2028\u2028With deep insight and often surprising advice, Keller shows readers that biblical wisdom is immensely relevant to our questions about our work. In fact, the Christian view of work\u2014that we work to serve others, not ourselves\u2014can 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\u2014not just of self-interest.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
