The life of Christ in the whole life of the believer
The Christian life begins when we hear and respond to the “call” of Jesus Christ. Like the first disciples of Jesus, we must then “leave everything” in order to follow the Master.
But, does this mean I have to enter into what is commonly called “full-time Christian service”? How can I devote myself to witnessing for Jesus Christ when I have to spend so much time and energy doing “ordinary” work?
The author believes that the lives of a large number of Christians have been disfigured by the thought that the only valid way for the believer to live is to be engaged in some sort of "Christian" career. In fact, God calls the vast majority of Christians to serve him where they are, where he has placed them, in the workshop or office, in the store or on the job site.
This book shows that instead of dissecting life into compartments (“spiritual” and “secular”), it is better to look at each moment given to us as an opportunity to live fully for the glory of God. A welcome antidote for a modern Church.
