WORKING IT OUT: God, You and the Work You Do PB

What we hear in church on Sunday morning sometimes seems worlds away from the challenges we face on Monday morning. Ian Coffey helps us make creative - and vital - connections between God and our work.

- Can welding a gatepost bring glory to God?
- Does ironing your children's uniforms help you grow as a disciple?
- Will your new crime prevention strategy do anything to further the kingdom?


To all three Ian Coffey says a resounding 'YES!'.


With lively Bible teaching and drawing on a wealth of real-life stories, he shows how work was part of God's good plan for men and women - given to us so we can make a creative contribution in his world.

Whatever your work, God is interested in it, God can transform it, and God wants to use it - for his glory.

As reviewed by Dr. Stephen McQuoid in July 2019- 'The author’s intention is clearly to help Christians understand both that work is a good in itself and also the importance of living Christianly in the workplace. Coffey, an experienced pastor who has worked in churches full of professionals, is a good person to pen a book like this. While it is slightly light on theology, it is full of practical lessons which are well illustrated with the use of good stories.

It is probably pitched at busy people who won’t have the time to wrestle with complex issues and who will appreciate a helpful book that is not too demanding to get through. A book to be recommended to the working people in your church.'
