The Sacredness of Secular Work: 4 Ways Your Job Matters for Eternity (Even When You’re Not Sharing the Gospel) by Jordan Raynor

Abstract

How does secular work matter for eternity? Jordan Raynor sets out to answer this question in his book, The Sacredness of Secular Work: 4 Ways Your Job Matters for Eternity (Even When You’re Not Sharing the Gospel). Raynor writes his book to expand upon established biblical concepts of work and missions to encourage his audience to spread the gospel through their actions, not just via evangelism. The insights shared by the author allow readers to view their work as worthwhile as they continue working with a renewed perspective on the grace of God upon their lives and professions. Raynor argues that a Christian’s secular work maintains eternal value when performed for God’s glory, which calls Christians to view their work as essential to God’s perfect plan.
