God's Craftsman

You've probably heard a minister use the phrase, "God has a plan and a purpose for your life." Or, "He created you for something special." Yet, what does that mean to those of us who are accountants, painters, truck drivers, or salespeople?

Most Americans spend 40 to 50 hours per week at their jobs or work-related activities. Multiply that by 50 weeks a year, and that is well over 2,000 hours spent working or on associated tasks. Contrast that to perhaps 2-5 hours a week at church or in a community group. Even taking five hours a week multiplied by 52 weeks a year, that's only a little more than 250 hours. This means you spend nearly ten times as much time at your job, career, or vocation as you do at church. On one hand, this may seem way out of balance, yet we all know we must work. We have to make a living and provide for ourselves and our families. Even God worked six days.

Here's the good news... Ss I studied the Bible through the vantage point of my vocation and I began to work through the principles I share in this book, I had a profound shift in my thinking and how I approached my business and career. This brought about an increase in my income, expanded my business and ministry opportunities, and increased my level of fulfillment and career satisfaction. The purpose of this book is to challenge you not to view your job, vocation or career as just something to get a paycheck, but to see yourself in a new and different way. This new perspective will help you step into the high calling as one of God's Craftsman.
