Garden City: Work, Rest, and the Art of Being Human

By John Mark Comer

What you do matters as much as who you are.

What does it mean to be fully human?

What does it look like to be fully alive?

We've all heard it said: It's who you are that matters, not what you do.

Really?

Where do the Scriptures teach that?

After all, from the very first pages of the Bible, human beings were made to rule over and care for the earth. By calling and by commission, humanity was created to do good work.

In these pages you'll learn that, ultimately, what you do matters just as much as who you are. Garden City will help you find answers to questions like,

Does God care where I work?Does he have a clear direction for me?How can I create a rhythm for work and a practice of rest?

This book isn't about how to get ahead in your career or spruce up your resume--it's about working, resting, and living a full existence.

It's about spiritual life invading all of life.
