Women & Work

Bearing God’s Image and Joining in His Mission through our Work

About this book

Do you struggle to find purpose in your work?

We know that even in the Garden of Eden, God gave His people work to do, and He allows us to image Him through our work. But for women, the word work sometimes brings controversy and confusion. Do I work inside and outside the home? Am I called to homeschool? Do I serve God by loading laundry or leading a corporate team? And how do I do it well?

This unique book explores the biblical theology of work through the eyes and experiences of eleven working women. They write on such topics as:

  • Growing through conflict 
  • Developing your gifts
  • Leading and working with men
  • Balancing motherhood and career
  • Considering your calling
  • Imaging God in both secular and sacred work

Since all women work, this book has wisdom for them all—from singles to homeschool moms, entrepreneurs to corporate execs, new hires to retirees. No matter your sphere or season in life, you’ll find practical tools to help you rethink your work and how you can offer it to God each day.

Let’s celebrate your good work and its impact on the kingdom!
