Every Job a Parable: What Farmers, Nurses and Astronauts Tell Us about God
Autor John Van Slotenen Limba Engleză Paperback – 17 aug 2017
A farmer, a nurse and an astronaut walk into a church...
They each bring with them their own exhaustions and exasperations, their own uncertainty about whether and how their work matters to God. Good news: all work matters to God, because all work reflects some aspect of the character of God. God created the world so that it runs best when it mirrors him, and we ourselves find the most fulfilment when we recognize God behind our labour.
John Van Sloten offers a fascinating and innovative reflection on vocation: our work is a parable of God; as we work, we are icons of grace.

Recenzii
I have a hunch that thousands of people are waiting for this book, as they struggle to translate God into the language of the cultures that constitute most of their waking lives. John Van Sloten shatters the sacred-secular divide, repositioning work as worship, and glory in the normality of the mundane. This is a message that really could revolutionise your relationship with God, but be warned that it will do so very quietly.
This book is well-crafted and contains helpful quotes.
This delightful book... grabbed my imagination and my heart, and accessibly gave me fresh insight into the theology of work.

John Van Sloten is a pastor, teacher and writer who lives in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. For the past 20 years he's been exploring a worldview that seeks to discern God's voice in all things: the Bible, the arts, sport, science, film, music, literature, history, maths, nature and human nature. John's first book was The Day Metallica Came to Church: Searching for the Everywhere God in Everything, and he has been the recipient of two John Templeton Foundation grants, exploring the intersection of faith and science in the context of preaching.
