And as Christians we often feel a sense of responsibility to be ‘agents of flourishing’. But how do we do this intelligently and sustainably?

An excellent and timely book.

With deep insight and often surprising advice, Keller shows how the Christian view of work can provide the foundation of a thriving professional and balanced personal life.
