“The goal of work isn’t to make money to buy more stuff; it’s to cooperate with the Creator God in world making, and then to take a step back and delight in our Garden-like world.”

The Sabbath is “a day for rest, AND it’s a day for worship.”
“The Sabbath is not the same thing as a day off.”
“For 24-hours, we enjoy the fruit of our labor, we delight in God and His world, we celebrate life, we rest, and we worship.”

So far this book is a lot of words but nothing learned. Some inspiring quotes that John Mark Comer uses are where I am most encouraged:
The kind of work we are called to is the expenditure of energy, manual, mental or both, in the service of others which brings fulfillment to the worker, benefit to the community and glory to God. - John Stott
So far to be honest it’s not a very practical book.
