Tom Nelson is the senior pastor of Christ Community Church in Kansas City. He is also the President of Made to Flourish, a respected network of pastors integrating faith and work. This is one of the most helpful books that I have read on the subject of integrating our faith and work. The first section of the book looks at our work through a biblical lens. The second section focuses on how God shapes our lives in and through our work.
The author tells us that he realized that he had failed to grasp that a primary stewardship of his pastoral work was to assist and equip those in his church to better connect the professions of their Sunday faith with the practices of their Monday work. Although many see work as a necessary evil, and a result of the fall, the author tells us that being made in God’s image, we have been designed to work, to be fellow workers with God. To be an image-bearer is to be a worker, and in our work, we are to show off God’s excellence, creativity, and glory to the world. We work because we bear the image of One who works. Because God himself is a worker, and because we are his image-bearers, we were designed to reflect who God is in, though, and by our work.
In Genesis 1 and 2 we are presented with a delightful picture of work as God originally designed it to be. The Bible clearly tells us that while work is not a result of the fall, work itself was profoundly impacted. In a myriad of ways, we are painfully reminded each and every day that we live and work in a fallen and corrupted world, as daily we are confronted by a sobering reality that our work, the workers we work with, and the workplaces in which we work are not as God originally designed them.
Sadly, many Christians live their entire lives in the workplace under the distortion that their work is not as important and God honoring as the work of a pastor or missionary. But the author tells us that in reality, there is no more sacred space than the workplace where God has called you to serve him as you serve the common good.
There are distortions in how we approach our work. Rather than worship God through our work, we can easily and subtly begin to worship our work. Work can become an idol in our lives. One of the ways we make work an idol is workaholism. On the other hand, instead of making work an idol, we can erroneously view our work as really no big deal, and become idle in our work. When work is distorted, we easily make leisure an idol and become a slothful person. In addition, the common notion of a long, leisurely, and self-indulgent retirement (playing golf every day and travelling all the time), is not something Scripture endorses, and in many ways, it reflects the distortion of slothfulness.
The author tells us how important our work actually is. We must not compartmentalize our work and our worship, but rather we must learn to see our work as an act of worship. One of the ways that we are salt and light and act as redemptive agents in this broken world is to live out a faithful presence in the workplace. One of the primary ways we tangibly love our neighbors is to do excellent, God-honoring work in our various vocations. The author tells us that if we will begin to see our workplace as our primary place of discipleship, it will be truly life changing. We will do good work. We will grow spiritually, and we will have a significant influence in the world.
He discusses the concept of vocation, indicating that the word simply means “calling.” Properly understood, Christian vocation is centered in a sovereign God who calls us to embrace the gospel of Jesus Christ and to follow him in the power of the Holy Spirit as his disciples. In and through our vocations we have the opportunity to extend common grace to others, and in doing so we foster the common good. He tells us that our vocational calling is not only a gift from God but also equips and supernaturally gifts us for work.
He addresses challenges in our work, indicating that one of the greatest challenges we face every day in our workplaces is living a life of personal integrity. He tells us that our personal integrity is the most important asset we bring to our workplace. If our personal integrity is compromised at work, our life is inevitably comprised. The pressure to compromise our core beliefs and ethical values as Christians is a regular temptation in many workplaces today.
This is a very helpful book, and would serve as an excellent introduction for those who are interested in the value of our work and how to integrate our work with our faith.
Below are ten of my favorite quotes from the book:
1. Our work, whatever it is, whether we are paid for it, is our specific human contribution to God’s ongoing creation and to the common good.
2. Doing our work before an Audience of One changes what we do and how we do it. Living with this mind-set helps us connect our faith with our work, for we live before the same Audience on Monday at work as we do on Sunday at worship.
3. Without knowing Christ, your work will never be all that God intended for it to be. Without knowing the One who created work, your work will never be ultimately fulfilling. The good news of work is that we can be transformed—that our work can be transformed.
4. Your vocational work is your specific and invaluable contribution to God’s ongoing creation and an essential aspect of God’s Great Commandment to love your neighbor as yourself.
5. One of God’s primary places where he desires your mind to be renewed is your workplace—for your thoughts, words, and behavior to be changed while you work. Your workplace is to be a place of spiritual formation.
6. An essential aspect of presenting our Christian faith to the world around us is seen in and through the diligence we exhibit in our work.
7. Our work is a gift from God, but we are also gifted by God for our work. How God has created us and gifted us, and the very human dispositions we have been given, shape his vocational will for our lives.
8. Your vocational sweet spot is that place where your creativity is most unleashed, your passions are most engaged, and your work makes the greatest contribution to advancing the mission of the organization or business you serve.
9. If your work is crowding out a weekly Sabbath rest, it is time for you to make changes.
10. One of the marks of Christian maturity is a growing sense of joyous contentment wherever God has us and in whatever he has called us to do.

Nelson's book provides a good overview of Faith and Work theology. He writes with a pastor's heart and is transparent about his own journey in understanding a theology of vocation more fully. The testimonials featured throughout the book were a welcome addition. Though Nelson presents the major theological categories and biblical themes at play, the book does not add much unique thought to the discussion and less biblical content than one might hope. Good choice for someone becoming acquainted with issues of faith and work but not as appropriate for those who have already read other titles in the field.

[Jerrod · Rating 3 out of 5]

Bridging the gap between Sunday worship and Monday work, Tom Nelson walks the reader through ten chapters of scriptural theology to support the importance of vocation as God-created and God-honoring. In doing so, he wonderfully unpacks why the notion that one must be in “full time ministry” to be an active agent for Christ’s Kingdom is a fallacy. While this was an easy read, at times it was a bit garrulous and could’ve been condensed (hence, only 3 stars), but for those believers who struggle through their job every day, Nelson offers both hope and insight to encourage workers and to develop their view of how God places us in vocations throughout our lives.

Espero que al leer este libro, el Espíritu Santo pueda poner en tu corazón el deseo profundo de encontrar el evangelio en tu trabajo, y que te muestre el poderoso impacto que tiene el cómo vives y lo que expresas en el lugar en el que posiblemente pasas la mayor parte de la semana. Estoy seguro que en tu iglesia local hay muchas personas que necesitan escuchar estas verdades sobre la vocación y el trabajo, te invito a que puedas compartirlas y que descubras que absolutamente todo lo que hacemos —incluyendo el trabajo— es por Él, de Él, y para Él.

Good introductory read for the reader who is beginning to broach the subject of faith and work. More robust works exist, but the book is still relatively helpful for the inquiring reader.

I would recommend to a certain subset of readers, depending on their familiarity with the subject/topic.

Chapters 1, 5, and 6 were most helpful.

This is my second book by Nelson. The first was about being a pastor, this one was more about how we teach as pastors. How we specifically teach about work. I really liked this and think it will help inform my teaching going forward as a pastor. Recommended

[Luciana Francisconi · Rating 5 out of 5]

Lo sumo a la lista de libros que los cristianos debemos leer si o si. Con este libro mi mirada sobre el trabajo y la vocación cambió radicalmente. Lo recomiendo mucho para aquellos que se sienten culpables por no poder estar sirviendo en su iglesia local (una cosa no quita la otra). Pero en serio creo que las cosas cambiarían muchísimo si empezáramos a incluir a Dios en cada área de nuestra vida, inclusive nuestro trabajo.

[Laurie Reyes · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a really practical book about work. The author reminds and proves that all work is sacred, not just ministry work. As I read it I kept thinking of my boys and hope to have them read it as well. The last few chapters of the book were less helpful for me than the first half of the book.

[Elisha Lawrence · Rating 3 out of 5]

I really appreciate Made to Flourish for resourcing pastors with this book and a number of others. I signed up for a pastoral kit and was sent this, about 4 other books and some brochures for free. Very grateful for their investment in pastors.

This book was helpful. I can tell that Nelson lives out what he believes in this area. He has put a lot of thought into the dignity of work and redeeming it. His church is really helping their members think about their work as a place of ministry. A lot of this book emphasizes similar points to Keller's Every Good Endeavor. He and Keller are different people so they don't address each thing in the same way, but I was encouraged to see some of their similarities and Nelson's acknowledgement that his church learned a lot from Redeemer in their process.

I am grateful for these points that Nelson drew out:
-Jesus was known as a carpenter's son. When he preached in his hometown, they were surprised to hear him preaching because they were so familiar with him as being a carpenter. Jesus was so focused on his work of carpentry that people knew him for it. He was pursuing the Lord and honoring him all that time leading up to his move into preaching the gospel itinerantly. Jesus glorified the Lord in the way he was a good carpenter. Carpenters should be known for making good tables. That in and of itself is glorifying to God. So often we analyze work outside of gospel proclamation or mercy ministry (preaching, Christian non-profits, parachurch ministry) based on whether we are getting to talk about Christ with someone. Vocations with less opportunity for proclamation are considered lower callings. Apparently Jesus didn't feel this way. Yes we should articulate the gospel, but that's not to say that all other work is pointless or a lesser calling.

-Jesus is the smartest man in my field. No matter the field of work that someone is in, Jesus as the creator and designer of the world, is the best in that field. Certainly engineers learn from engineers and get schooling. He is just making the point that what Scripture says is applicable for you regardless of your vocation. Scripture is meant for teachers, doctors, engineers, insurance salesman, and businessmen. We are all meant to be conformed into the image of Christ and have an intimate relationship with the Lord regardless of where we work.

-Remain in the position in which you were called. It's so interesting that Paul says this. This goes against the grain of modern culture and Christian culture. Modern culture says you deserve better and creates a sense of discontentment in truly developing skills by staying in one job and cultivating a better understanding and appreciation for that work. Christian culture minimizes calling to full-time Christian ministry jobs so that those who aren't pastors or para-church workers think their job isn't really a calling from the Lord. If God calls someone, it's always out of the workforce into the pastorate or work as a missionary. We don't think of the workplace as a mission field. We don't think of ALL jobs as a calling from God. I hear this all the time in conversations with people in our church. And I don't blame them, I blame myself for the language I have used and the way I've thought about calling that has contributed to this problem.

His final chapter gets really practical on steps that churches can take to emphasize vocation. He talked about avoiding language like "secular job", "full-time ministry", and "frontlines ministry", because it communicates a gap between Sunday worship and Monday work. Their church has a two year discipleship pathway specifically focused on helping people understand their vocation as a calling connected to their faith. They have group networks centered around specific types of jobs to provide support and encouragement. They celebrate not just when missions teams go out but when teachers go back to school to emphasize that they're on a mission too. They have a system of workplace mentoring where the older or wiser walk alongside young people entering the workforce. It's not perfect, but it's something and I appreciate him sharing some of the practicals that they are doing.

My lower rating is mainly about his writing style. His illustrations to start chapters were basically throwaways to me, but I'm spoiled with Trevor Atwood's style of preaching and writers like Skye Jethani and Mark Sayers who weave illustrations seamlessly into their points. If I wrote a book, I'd probably give it 1 star for the same issue LOL. Overall, the book was helpful. Vocation is something I think all churches should be taking some time to talk through and emphasize. This is such a massive chunk of every person in the church's week. If they don't see it as a place where God is with them and where God cares very much about how they're doing it, then a sense of purposelessness drifts in.

This was just ok. It was assigned reading at work quite awhile back and I don't remember what all I liked/disliked. It wasn't helpful enough that I would be compelled to recommend it, but I did save several quotes for a discussion about it with my co-worker. They are below:

“For anyone to refuse to work is a violation of God’s fundamental creation design for humankind. When we grasp what God intended for his image-bearers, is is not surprising that throughout the book of Proverbs the wise are praised for their diligence and the foolish are rebuked for their laziness.” (pg. 23)

“The only Christian work is good work well done.” (quoting Dorothy Sayers, pg. 29)

“The writer of Ecclesiastes reminds us that work in this fallen world is a mixed bag. Work is both a curse and a gift. Work greets us with both frustration and exhilaration. Our work gives evidence of our glorious creation as well as our great estrangement from God and our need for a savior who will redeem us from sin’s devastating curse.” (pg. 42)

“Slothfulness leads us to rely on the hard work and industry of others and to develop an entitlement mentality.” (pg. 44)

“There is really no good news about work without the good news of the gospel.”

“Seeking to live out a faithful presence in our workplaces means that we incarnate the gospel by doing good works and being exemplary workers.” (pg. 60)

“Without knowing Christ, your work will never be all that God intended for it to be. Without knowing the One who created work, your work will never be ultimately fulfilling. The good news of work is that we can be transformed—that our work can be transformed.” (pg. 61)

“Thinking that somehow certain kinds of work are more “full-time Christian” than other kinds; or that only some kinds of work have eternal value, while others do not; or that somewhere in life as we get older, we change our work so we can move from success to significance, are unbiblical distortions we must confront in our own lives and in our faith communities.” (pg. 85)

“The word rest is not necessarily about kicking back in our recliner or chilling out in some way, but rather a joyous ease in our work as we wear the yoke that has been tailor-made just for us.” (pg. 91)

“One of the primary ways we tangibly love our neighbors is to do excellent, God-honoring work in our various vocations.” (pg. 92)

“Every day when you arrive at your workplace, an attitude arrives with you. Our attitudes are like the perfume or cologne we are wearing; we smell the fragrance when we first put I on, but others smell it throughout the day. The fragrance you are wearing at work, others are picking up.” (93)

“…Jesus is, in fact, the smartest man in my field. He is the smartest man in your field. It doesn’t matter what you’re doing…he’s the smartest man on the job.” (quoting Dallas Willard, pg. 117)

“In order to equip people to make a difference in the their world, we must insist that doing well and doing good not be different.” (quoting Jonathan Swartz, pg. 124)

“Work is a gift from God, but we are also gifted by God for our work. How God has created us and gifted us, and the very human dispositions we have been given, shape his vocational will for our lives.” (pg. 144)

“God calls you to the kind of work that you need most to do, and that the world most needs to have done…the place God calls you is the place where your deep gladness and the world’s deep hunger meet.” (pg. 147)

Diagnostic questions:

1. How has God designed me?
2. What life experiences have shaped me?
3. What circumstances surround me?
4. What do my wise counselors say?

“There are times when out of economic necessity or the need to simply serve, we do work that doesn’t fit us very well. Yet if we are going to pursue paths where we can make our best long-term vocational contribution, we need to grow in self awareness of what we are good at doing.” (pg. 151-152)

“Sometimes in our vocational pursuits several doors open at the same time, requiring us to make the wises choice we can. Other times we encounter a seemingly closed door that is quick to open when we knock on it. Yet I think our tendency is to keep knocking on a closed door rather than taking no for an answer and moving on or being content where God has us vocationally right now.” (pg. 158)

The quote “God does not need your good works, but your neighbor does.” By Martin Luther was a key take-home message for me after reading this book. I read this book at my point in my life where I had been at my current office job for almost 4 years, and I had started to feel like a cog in a wheel. The book reminded me that my workplace is the very place that God wants to use to refine, and shape me, to make me more Christ-like. That it is important to do a GOOD job. It has helped me to start thinking about how I can live a more integrated Sunday to Monday life, and healing the sacred-secular divide. I am trying to see how the projects I am working on are contributing to God’s world and making a positive impact on people’s lives. I can see my church starting to make a conscious effort to value the diverse Monday-to-Friday jobs of the congregation and not just what people do on a Sunday, by having short testimonials during service and people sharing how they bring their faith to work.

This book wasn’t the most engaging to read and at times reading it felt like ‘work’ ironically! However, I persevered and I am glad that I have read it. I enjoyed the exploration of biblical characters in work such as Daniel, Joseph, and Bezalel, I would have liked a more in depth look at those characters. Also, while there are helpful questions at the end of each chapter to guide the readers thinking to work out their own application points, what I would have liked to see more of was deeper case studies of the mental shift that has happened as people grasped the integrated theology of work and how that has impacted them.

Overall a helpful quick read on having a biblical perspective of work.

[Diana Llanas · Rating 4 out of 5]

Trabajo y Redención, por Tom Nelson es un libro sobre la integridad en la vida del cristiano, particularmente enfocada en el ámbito laboral. Solemos reservar la adoración al Señor para el domingo, y frecuentemente nos olvidamos que esa adoración debe ser integral con nuestro trabajo del lunes. Pero si trabajamos más tiempo del que acudimos a nuestra iglesia local, ¿en realidad tiene sentido que la adoración la limitemos a dos horas de un domingo por la mañana? Esa es la cuestión a resolver en éstas 224 págs.

Conforme avanzaba en mi lectura comencé a conectar los puntos y mi cristianismo empezó a tener más sentido. Ahora logro ver más claramente que todo es una integración y que, el lugar donde la sabia y sublime providencia de Dios nos ha colocado es el lugar correcto para vivir el evangelio. (1 Cor. 7:24)

Éste libro, como lo señala D.A. Carson, «suple una gran necesidad». Es una invitación a que antes de cada jornada laboral nos pongamos el perfume del evangelio, la fragancia de Cristo, para que por medio de nuestro aroma –nuestras actitudes, los dones del Espíritu– otras personas recuerden a Jesús.

Una de mis frases favoritas y que se ha quedado grabada en mi mente es la siguiente de Dorothy Sayers: «El único trabajo cristiano es el trabajo bien hecho».

[Shaun Lee · Rating 2 out of 5]

The primary thrust of the book is this - full-time ministry work is as important as secular vocational work. Unfortunately, he spent too many pages of text harping on the same point. And at the end of everything, I was not convinced.

Tom Nelson’s writing style does not resonate with me; I struggled to remain interested in the unfolding narrative. While he uses a mix of personal accounts, real-world examples and Scripture, his use of the biblical text is problematically eisegetical (meaning he highlights many passages and isolates the biblical text out of its context to fit what he wants it to say along the lines of the topic he is on, often missing the main theological principle of the passage and instead engaging in a works-righteousness application of "be like Boaz" or "be like Joseph"). Perhaps the only part of the book that was of a better quality would be chapter 9's "Facing challenges at work."

A quick glance at the other helpful Goodreads reviewers' takes would yield the advice to avoid this book if you have read another on this topic. For better reads on the topic of work, look at Timothy Keller’s Every Good Endeavour or William Taylor’s Revolutionary Work.

[Alaina · Rating 5 out of 5]

I had to read for class and I would recommend to anyone in the church. It helps integrate our faith in everything we do, especially our vocations. It speaks to any worker- from preachers to janitors to stay at home moms- to show them the power and value of their work. Rich theology that would be helpful in sermons and teachings. Also very easy to read and I didn’t feel like there were topics he missed.

If you like this book, read

What’a Best Next: How the Gospel Transforms the Way You Get Things Done by Matt Permon. Kinda wordy and redundant at times but it has some chapters that are gems when considering why we can have freedom in the workplace knowing our worth is in Christ. The book focuses on productivity but I enjoyed the sprinklings of some really great truths/ insights throughout.

Prayer in the Night’s chapter “Those Who Work” (by Tish Harrison Warren). Mentions how we depend on each other in working and also how to pray for those who work.

[Beth · Rating 5 out of 5]

I am trying decide why this book has such a low rating. Maybe people pick it up and don't understand this is a book to put perspective about our daily walk with Jesus in a secular world? Or maybe Christians are hoping this leads to a calling in the church?

This book is great for Christians looking for perspective in how all work matters and is equal in the eyes of God. In fact, it shows us that all work matters and not only is work a place to practice our daily walk in the following the way of Jesus but actually puts us in a place of being the salt and light everyday in places that might not get a lot of salt and light. Loving your job is so important but being a model of love is the most important thing regardless of where you work. God gave us work and we should honor that gift with being the best example of Jesus' love each and every day.

[Karie · Rating 3 out of 5]

I liked most of this book – especially the way it took actual people (business people & business owners) and cited the way that they took the words they heard on Sundays and put those words into action in their work lives. They did more that recite the teachings they heard in church – they lived by those words in their dealings with employees and customers.

The message of the book was a good one – as I am not a regular churchgoer, I was impressed with the common sense examples. At times, the themes got a bit repetitive, but in general, I agreed with the message that many people are hypocrites when it comes to their religious lives and work lives. What they do and say in their work lives do not reflect what they say they believe. I, for one, will try to do an even better job bringing these good words and good works into my daily life.

[Bert van der Vaart · Rating 3 out of 5]

A perfectly fine if relatively unstartling disquisition on how one's work is part and parcel of a Christian's life--that everything we do should be as unto the Lord. Nelson leavens the book with a few decent anecdotes, but on the whole I think the book could have been 9 pages long and made the same points instead of 209. One important point is that how we work is a good advertisement of our belief, and ultimately where our mission field should be. However, with restrictions and hostility to sharing our beliefs, perhaps it is not surprising how the rate of attracting new believers in the US is less than formerly. OK for small groups but there are surely more challenging and more important books out there.

[Chad CG · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved this book! It was God’s timing that I read this book as God was revealing His truth to me about work here on earth. God’s plan is not just a far off utopian-like heaven but a reality we can live, breathe, and WORK in here and now. God’s kingdom is in our midst and the work God assigns to us right now is meaningful and exudes purpose. A deeper walk with Christ is built upon the understanding of the general church work and unique calling God has invited us to, and equipped us for, in the present moment. To uncover that and live it out is to live the full life - the fruitful life - Jesus promised.

[Jeremiah Moore · Rating 3 out of 5]

In Work Matters, I think Nelson brought up some great points throughout the book. I enjoyed his writing style. each chapter was broken up into smaller sections. It gave me time to pause and reflect after the sections rather than taking in a whole chapter. I think I got the most out of this book by talking with friends about how to apply principles mentioned. To be honest, Nelson got pretty repetitive with some of his main points. Although they were good points, it could have been condensed some. If you read this book, be sure to have discussions with friends!

[Lizette Vega · Rating 3 out of 5]

Disappointed. I wonder if I am the only one who thinks this, but I felt Nelson didn't have enough data to make a clear argument for the need for work. He even used some of the parables, i.e., the Prodigal Son, to support his view on work, yet, that parable has nothing to do with subject. He also repeated the narrative of the curse that stemmed from Adam then to all mankind a few times. Maybe, it's just me, but I thought he could have used more research.

3.5 en realidad, al leer el título esperaba un poco mas, quizá es que tengo tiempo padeciendo de lo que el autor trata en el libro la continua separación vocacional entre lo que se hace en la iglesia y el "trabajo secular".

It is a very good book about the work. It can show you how can you feel better about your work, you can understand God's plan about this, it shows the bigger picture.

En esta obra el autor nos da un paseo por la teología vocacional y se esmera por enseñar cuánto habla la Biblia acerca del trabajo. Su enfoque está en hacer que los cristianos seamos iglesia tanto en el templo como en la oficina, ayudándonos a romper la dicotomía que separa la vida religiosa de la vida profesional.

Es un libro muy necesario que de inmediato empezó a influir en mi vida.
