About the Book

Pastors and chaplains aren't the only ones in ministry--every Christian is called to be a minister through his or her work in the world. But in order to fully understand what this entails, we must look to the Bible and develop a fuller understanding of work as any way we interact with God's creation. Doing so may transform our view of how Sunday morning impacts our work-a-day lives--and vice versa. In Every Waking Hour, Benjamin Quinn and Walter R. Strickland develop a biblically and theologically rich view of work, vocation, and how we may glorify God through everything we do.

About the Author :
Benjamin T. Quinn serves as associate dean for institutional effectiveness and assistant professor of theology and history of ideas at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary and The College at Southeastern. Quinn received his PhD in theology from the University of Bristol, UK, and lives with his wife and three children in Wake Forest, NC. Walter R. Strickland II is special advisor to the president for diversity and instructor of theology at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. Strickland holds a BA from Cedarville University, an MDiv and ThM from Southeastern Seminary, and is pursuing a PhD in theology from the University of Aberdeen (Scotland).

Review :
"Every Waking Hour shows that God's calling and power in all of our lives, not just in church, is one of the deep patterns running through Scripture from beginning to end. Every Christian needs to see how this story is essential to the gospel story itself. Well done!" --Greg Forster, director of the Oikonomia Network at Trinity International University "Every Waking Hour dispels the 'hierarchy of callings' myth that is so pervasive in the church today. Striking a unique balance between the theological and the practical, this book is a must-read!" --Jordan Raynor, founder and CEO of Vocreo "Every Waking Hour is a warm and engaging introduction to the proper place of work in Christian life. Quinn and Strickland give a clear overview of the intrinsic value of work in the Bible and its relationship to mission, along with a practical framework for putting theology into practice in churches." --Rev. Dr. Lyndon Drake, World Evangelical Alliance Council for Business and Theology "Humans were created for work. It's a shame so many Christians don't know how to approach our work--and other vocations--as a key component of our faith. I'm thankful my friends Benjamin Quinn and Walter Strickland have written this timely book. I recommend it as an excellent primer on the Christian understanding of work and calling. I pray the Lord uses it to help us think rightly about God and his world and to pursue our callings in ways that glorify his name, advance his kingdom, and contribute to human flourishing." --Nathan A. Finn, dean of the School of Theology and Missions, Union University "I have often thought it was risky to designate a single person in a congregation as 'the minister' when the Christian Scriptures seem to place 'the work of the ministry' on the shoulders of all who follow Christ. For this reason and more, Every Waking Hour is a gift to us all one hundred times over. Strickland and Quinn remind us that our job descriptions cannot ultimately be written on cards, etched into name plates, or affixed to email signatures. They are given by God for the world's good and God's glory. This book casts a compelling vision for vocation that is relevant to any believer with breath in their lungs and it arrives not a moment too soon." --Jonathan Merritt, author of Jesus Is Better Than You Imagined, contributing writer for The Atlantic
