This Reformed Christian primer on work and faith champions the glory of God in all of life's endeavors by tracing four key themes of economics in Christian confession and commitment and examining markers for human flourishing in the real world of economics, commerce, and markets. With scholarly passion and pastoral wisdom, tempered by the insight of economists, John Bolt presents a winsome case for how God uses the market economy to meet human needs. Written to raise questions and invite further discussion, Bolt offers a robust Reformed perspective on stewardship, property, capital, and morality. From this, he explores a variety of issues, including the human need for liberty, the challenge of consumerism, concerns about fairness and justice, and evangelicalism's mixed history in applying Christian compassion in politics and economics. What stands in the way of the human quest for improvement? How does the reality of sin affect the degree to which we can achieve economic shalom today? And despite every good intention, how do we avoid the horrific track record of failed utopias that have spilled oceans of blood and created mountains of misery? Read, learn, and respond as Bolt leads a rousing Reformed discussion of faith, work, and economics.

Where do we find the core of life's meaning? Right on the job! At whatever work we do-with head or hand, from kitchen to executive suite, from your house to the White House! "Work is the great equalizer-everyone has to come to it in order to find meaning in living: no short cuts, no detours, no bargain rates.""For DeKoster, bringing hope to the world of work is not only crucial to finding meaning in our work, but to finding meaning in our lives as a whole. If we do our daily work without the hope that God is present and active in it, our lives become 'a wilderness of work,' a desert through which we trudge, desperately thirsting for meaning and purpose. If we work with hope, that thirst will be satisfied-not only in our work, but increasingly in the rest of our lives as well." -Greg Forster, from the Afterword
