About the Book

Work. Play. Love. Most of our life is spent in these three areas. But all too often, our work is frustrating, our play is exhausting and our relationships are challenging. What would it take to have a life of meaningful work, refreshing fun and great relationships? Mark Shaw paints us a vivid picture of human flourishing, where a convergence of work, play and love brings delight in life. By pursuing wisdom rather than folly, we can have a renewed sense of vocation. Guarding against cultural pitfalls of money, sex and power, Shaw invites us to discover instead a deeper calling to playful work and faithful love. There we can find our place and experience life as it?s intended to be lived—playfully, with freedom and joy. Filled with engaging visual illustrations, this friendly guide will help you discover a life where your work, play and love are all in alignment with God's purposes for you and a larger mission in the world.

Notes

About the Author :
Mark Shaw is the director of the world Christianity program and professor of historical studies at Africa International University in Nairobi, Kenya.

Mark is the author of several books, including Global Awakening and Ten Great Ideas from Church History.

Review :
"Never before has workaholism seemed such a threat to relaxation and relationships. Similar moments of illustration-fueled insight recur constantly in Work, Play, Love. The book starts by claiming that it will tell you how to keep your work and life in balance. Then it vastly overdelivers. Shaw is a seminary professor, after all, and though he cites business books, Work, Play, Love is really a theology book that describes how God is putting the entire world right." "Shaw's call to work, play, and love is a call to live in this triple-delight and to participate in the resurrection project. Answering the call opens students up to the reality that their work matters because it is integral to God's unfolding story or redemption. Schools then work alongside the home and church in the formation of peculiar people, a people who delight in the whomever, whatever, and wherever of work, and a people in whom God delights." "Shaw anticipates and answers theological questions, applies game theory, draws on psychology and history, surveys the Bible, and more. He uses simple sketches throughout to communicate more effectively to this visually oriented generation. Recommended especially to millennials, youth directors, and campus ministers." "Despite the plethora of books on the topic, Shaw ultimately provides a clear guide to balancing life's facets in a way that ultimately honors God and his gifts to us. If you are looking for a book that not only provides valuable insight, but also practical application, Shaw has just what you need."
