And God also commands us to rest. Scott LaPierre shows how the Bible discloses the sinfulness of laziness and 'idleness, ' and he unpacks the contrary Biblical virtue of 'diligence.' But he also shows how our relationship to work can become sinful. Workaholism turns work into an addiction that can lead to burnout and idolatry. The Biblical principle of the Sabbath counters those tendencies with physical rest, the cessation of busyness necessary for spiritual devotion, and the life of faith, in which we realize that our salvation comes not by our work, but by resting in Christ. Work and Rest God's Way is a welcome contribution as Christians rediscover the doctrine of vocation in all of its practicality and spiritual richness.\"\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDr. Gene Edward Veith-Provost at Patrick Henry College, director of the Cranach Institute at Concordia Theological Seminary, and author of God at Work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ci\u003e\"In Work and Rest God's Way Scott LaPierre wonderfully reconciles the very real tension between work and rest by resisting the celebrated extremes of workaholism and play by relying on the principles and patterns laid out in God's Word.
