Get to Work: Seeing Your Daily Grind as God's Good Gift

by Jonny Ardavanis

In a time of contradictory messages about work, hurry, and rest, pastor and author Jonny Ardavanis dives into Scripture to help you see work as a divine calling, guiding you to partner with God and find profound meaning and purpose in your daily work, whether you're a plumber, a CEO, or a stay-at-home mom.
