Description
Folding laundry. Weeding the garden. Cooking dinner. Changing diapers. Work in the home can seem so ordinary. Does any of it matter? Is there meaning in our most mundane moments at home?
When the work of the home fills our days, it is easy to get disillusioned and miss God's grand purpose for our work. As image bearers of the Creator who made us to work, we contribute to society, bringing order out of chaos and loving God through loving others-meaning there's glory in every moment. In this encouraging book, Courtney Reissig combats the common misconceptions about the value of at-home work-helping us see how Christ infuses purpose into every facet of the ordinary.
Published in partnership with the Gospel Coalition.
Explains how the changing nature of at-home work has shaped the world's view of stay-at-home moms
Roots the purpose of at-home work in our identity as image bearers of God
Written by a stay-at-home mom and the author of The Accidental Feminist
