This is a deeply theological, wise, and truly helpful book for Christians seeking to connect their faith to their daily work. It is the fruit of Robert Banks's many years walking beside and listening to Christians seeking to do this, across many countries and spheres of life. It is rare in its recognition of the practical difficulties and of the wider economic environment which constrains action as well as opening up opportunities. Highly recommended. --Paul Oslington, Professor of Economics and Theology, Alphacrucis College I commend this book wholeheartedly, having lived long enough to know when there was virtually nothing on work. But Robert Banks approaches this everyday subject with a special slant--God's calling, or vocation. His treatment of the biblical, theological, and historical basis of work as a divine vocation is worth the price of the book. But there is much, much more. --R. Paul Stevens, Chairman, Institute of Marketplace Transformation This book is vintage Robert Banks, a great pioneer in faith and work integration. He deftly weaves together threads from a lifetime of listening to a wide range of workers globally. Then he reflects biblically and theologically, asking prophetic and practical questions for vocational discernment. Without squeezing, Robert packs in a whole compendium of his many writings on work, but with clarity, stories, questions, and conviction. It is an easy read, but not easy to live. --Gordon Preece, Director, Ethos Centre for Christianity and Society Here is the fruit of a lifetime's study and reflection. We thank God that many in the church have moved from a false sacred-secular divide in the area of work. But we still need books that articulate clearly and biblically what that actually looks like. Hence, we are grateful to Banks for this timely work. --Tan Soo Inn, Director, Graceworks
