Read by the author.

Rediscover your purpose and passion for life as bestselling author John Mark Comer guides you through the Bible's vision for work, rest, and living fully human.

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 Garden City, pastor and New York Times bestselling author John Mark Comer will help you discover that, ultimately, what you do matters just as much as who you are. You will explore 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.

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!

Such good work and really helpful

Comer has a way of putting his finger on painful points without shaming. That’s a gift. He’s a youngish guy who’s lived a lot, and he breaks honest about success and failure without arrogance or self-loathing. We’re so much more than we likely, truly believe. Mark takes us to a healthy, safe place where we can actually consider this. Dig in! 👍🏼👍🏼

First 1/2 of book was awesome!

2nd half was confusing and the last hr especially lost focus and was all over the place making me wish it was over. I kept waiting for it to wrap up the great first half of the book, but it never did, leaving it confusing from the purpose of the book the Sabbath and serving God.

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.

Essential read for Christian entrepreneurs

This book is exactly what workers in God’s kingdom need to hear. And if you are an entrepreneur like myself, you may even find it this book more meaningful and instructional for you.

A gentle challenge

From beginning to end John Mark challenged me to think outside of my own mind. Once I thought I formed a complete thought I challenged it in a new way with the next chapter. I came into this book with one question… What am I doing? I’m leaving this book with more questions to reflect on, but a better heart and an excited mind
