Publisher's Summary

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.

Like inhaling Eden and exhaling Heaven

This book is an awakening and invitation to live in the vision Jesus re-established for a thriving humanity. It will have you craving Monday morning as much as Friday evening, even while deepening your appetite for the latter. An absolute feast of language.

Life changing way to view our work and our lives in Christ

This book changed the way I viewed work and helped me to see the hope and purpose of work in God’s eyes. JMC is one of my most favourite authors and you should definitely give this one a read. His storytelling is captivating, humorous and insightful. I cannot recommend this book more.

Engaging and Thought Provoking

This is the third book I've read from John Mark Comer and he did not disappoint. I enjoy listening to his study and the original thought he carries throughout the book. He's very consistent about his main points and it is easy to follow along with an implement into your life if you're really looking to challenge your way of thinking. I learned some new things that I am now interested in researching, and thanks to his hilarious and personally annotated notes, I have a place to start.
