Work: A Kingdom Perspective on LaborMost Christians spend most of their waking hours working, yet many regard work as at best a necessary evil just one more unfortunate by product of humanity's fall from grace. Not so, says Ben Witherington III, and in Work: A Kingdom Perspective on Labor, he considers work as neither the curse nor the cure of human life but, rather, as something good that God has given us to do.

Most Christians spend most of their waking hours working, yet many regard work as at best a necessary evil -- just one more unfortunate by-product of humanity's fall from grace. Not so, says Ben Witherington III, and in Work: A Kingdom Perspective on Labor, he considers work as neither the curse nor the cure of human life but, rather, as something good that God has given us to do. In this brief primer on the biblical theology and ethics of work, Witherington carefully unpacks the concept of work, considering its relationship to rest, play, worship, the normal cycle of human life, and the coming Kingdom of God. Work as calling, work as ministry, work as a way to make a living, and the notably unbiblical notion of retirement -- Witherington's Work engages these subjects and more, combining scholarly acumen with good humor, common sense, cultural awareness, and biblically based insights from Genesis to Revelation. "Ben Witherington has given the whole people of God something desperately needed to make sense of Monday to Friday -- a theology of work that breaks down the heretical sacred-secular distinction. . . . Offers a work-view and life-view that, if embraced, would revitalize the mission of God's people in the world. It's that good." -- R. Paul Stevens author of The Other Six Days and Taking Your Soul to Work "Conducting a critical dialogue with the theological voices of our day, drawing upon the wisdom of the Christian tradition, and offering a sensitive reading of New Testament parables, Witherington delivers sound counsel on the Kingdom meaning of work and its implications for our lives today." -- Lee Hardy author of The Fabric of This WorldBinding Type: Paperback

Great Fit and Price While Updating My Wardrobe
Color: Shortbread, Size: Large
As I’ve been getting fitter, my old clothes started looking too baggy, so I needed something that fit better without breaking the bank. This COOFANDY chambray shirt turned out to be exactly what I was looking for—lightweight, wrinkle-resistant, and stylish enough for casual or dressy wear. The fabric feels soft and breathable, and it pairs easily with jeans or slacks. Since I’m still losing weight, I didn’t want to overspend on clothes I may size out of soon, and these hit the sweet spot for both quality and affordability.

Great value for a nicely made suit that fits athletic builds
Size: Medium, Color: Black
I got this suit for my son whole has a very athletic build (wide shoulders, smaller waist) and we were having the worst time finding a suit that for him well without looking like he was wearing his dad’s oversized suit. This suit fit really well! The vest has a nice buckle I. The back that allowed us to tighten it and cinch in the waist to make it fit nicely under the jacket. The jacket fit well and with vents on both sides of the jacket it allows for movement (and since this is for a dance that was important!) and the jacket is well lined so the structure of the jacket is great. The suit isn’t a shiny polyester material but a nice blend. It does have to be dry cleaned. This is a really nice suit or the price and since ,y son is still growing I don’t want to spend a fortune on a suit, this one works perfectly together him through dance season and next year when he’s grown even more I’ll buy this one again for him to wear for next dance season!
