Revolutionary Work: What's the Point of the 9 to 5?

This book would be helpful for those who have the idea that their life purpose is to be as good as they can in a specific occupation. \\nI'm not entirely convinced of the statement and idea that work is ALWAYS frustrating and painful. I understand the authors point but I feel without qualifications, that is not the biblical understanding. Work in this fallen world can still be joyful (as I'm sure is the experience of some), though I agree it cannot fully satisfy us. \\n\\nThe question and answer section at the back was very helpful as it clarified many things (which I felt in the book itself were said too strongly).

This book is clear and quick to read. Taylor provides biblical evidence to refute common arguments for what the eternal and most important work is, in this world. This is a must read for those who have also read """"Every good endeavor"""" by Timothy Keller, as it places work in the right context of being a harvest worker in sharing the good news. All work is important, albeit frustrated from the fall, but only gospel work has eternal value. This is an excellent book for those looking into where they invest their time and vocation in this life.
