Read by the author.

A purposeful guide for 20- and 30-somethings to understand and embrace their calling as well as immediate next steps for their lives.

You've heard people say, "Who you are matters more than what you do." But does the Bible really teach that?

In Garden City, popular pastor and speaker John Mark Comer gives a surprisingly countercultural take on the typical "spiritual" answer of the church. Comer explores Scripture to discover God's original intent for how we are meant to spend our time, reshaping how you view and do your work, rest, and life.

Here, you'll find answers to questions like:

  • Does God care where I work?
  • Does he have a clear direction for me?
  • What about what I do with my free time or how much rest I get?

In this book, you'll learn that it's ultimately about the reality that what we do matters, just as much as who we are.

Comer has a way of putting his finger on painful points without shaming. That’s a gift. He’s a youngish guy who’s lived a lot, and he breaks honest about success and failure without arrogance or self-loathing. We’re so much more than we likely, truly believe. Mark takes us to a healthy, safe place where we can actually consider this. Dig in! 👍🏼👍🏼

Such good work and really helpful

2nd half was confusing and the last hr especially lost focus and was all over the place making me wish it was over. I kept waiting for it to wrap up the great first half of the book, but it never did, leaving it confusing from the purpose of the book the Sabbath and serving God.

First 1/2 of book was awesome!

Such a great book for those who sometimes feel as though you trudge through the mundane tasks of work. I’m grateful for the refreshing perspective the author provides to understand my role as a worker and laborer in this world. Turns out the word “work” is not a four-letter word.

Refreshing!

I have come to really appreciate John‘s writing. This is the second book of his that I’ve gone through and I thought he did another fantastic job. I don’t agree 100% with everything he says, but I respect that on the things that are opinion, he states that, I very much respect his openness and honesty. This has helped me a lot with my own outlook when it comes to my job and how I go about it and think about it. It has helped work the more enjoyable and helped me in my ministry at work.

Worth the read

This book is exactly what workers in God’s kingdom need to hear. And if you are an entrepreneur like myself, you may even find it this book more meaningful and instructional for you.

Essential read for Christian entrepreneurs

From beginning to end John Mark challenged me to think outside of my own mind. Once I thought I formed a complete thought I challenged it in a new way with the next chapter. I came into this book with one question… What am I doing? I’m leaving this book with more questions to reflect on, but a better heart and an excited mind

A gentle challenge
