Resumen del Editor

Read by the author.

A purposeful guide for 20- and 30-somethings to understand and embrace their calling as well as immediate next steps for their lives.

You've heard people say, "Who you are matters more than what you do." But does the Bible really teach that?

In Garden City, popular pastor and speaker John Mark Comer gives a surprisingly countercultural take on the typical "spiritual" answer of the church. Comer explores Scripture to discover God's original intent for how we are meant to spend our time, reshaping how you view and do your work, rest, and life.

Here, you'll find answers to questions like:

• Does God care where I work?
• Does he have a clear direction for me?
• What about what I do with my free time or how much rest I get?

In this book, you'll learn that it's ultimately about the reality that what we do matters, just as much as who we are.

Great!

I recommend this book if you would like to understand more your purpose in life and rest.

Love John Mark

Garden City was a great book to listen to on the road. I felt God speaking to me through John’s words.

Must listen

Perfect length and great listen. Feels like listens to John Marks Podcast.
Clearly explains complex biblical lessons and concepts!

Refreshing!

Such a great book for those who sometimes feel as though you trudge through the mundane tasks of work. I’m grateful for the refreshing perspective the author provides to understand my role as a worker and laborer in this world. Turns out the word “work” is not a four-letter word.

Worth the read

I have come to really appreciate John‘s writing. This is the second book of his that I’ve gone through and I thought he did another fantastic job. I don’t agree 100% with everything he says, but I respect that on the things that are opinion, he states that, I very much respect his openness and honesty. This has helped me a lot with my own outlook when it comes to my job and how I go about it and think about it. It has helped work the more enjoyable and helped me in my ministry at work.

Life Changing

learnt so much and for the 1st time in my life I can look at work and have an understand what God designed us for

Great book on Sabbath Rest and Vocation

Loved it so much. I’m telling everyone I know to get there hands on a copy.

Simple but important message

If you want to be reminded why doing what you do for the Lord and also doing what you love for the Lord is Kingdom building, listen to this book.

It’s quirky and funny but it’s serious and important.

Such a beautiful take on work

I think this book is great for any believer to read —but especially the new high school grads questioning careers and their future. Or anyone like me with job burnout. This book presents such a great opportunity for refocus on the “why?” of our work. And helps us realize all work is ministry. We just have to let God use us.

Good book!

This books to gives you a whole new perspective on calling, purpose and community and How Your everyday life plays into it.
