__A path toward more meaningful work that makes an impact__   
In recent decades, work has changed dramatically. Yet we are still sent into the new world of work with old, outdated tools, expectations, and strategies. This leaves us ill-equipped in our pursuit of meaningful work that will impact our communities and change the world. The result? Unmet expectations and unfulfilled longings.  
  
Make Work Matter provides a blueprint for a better future. Filled with stories and insights from faithful entrepreneurs and built on solid research, this book will help you  
  
· __discover__ what God is calling you to do in a changing world  
· __define__ where you are in this season of work  
· __embrace__ what the Bible says (and doesn't say) about calling  
· __develop__ a mindset and habits suited for the new world of work  
· __reflect__ on and work out ways that sustain you on the journey  
  
It's time to close the gap between what you're doing now and the life-giving work you desire. This book will help you chart your own way forward.

In the past decades, work has changed dramatically. Yet we are still sent into the new world of work with old, outdated tools, expectations, and strategies. This leaves us ill-equipped in our pursuit of meaningful work that will impact our communities and change the world. The result? Unmet expectations and unfulfilled longings. Not to mention curiosity about how to do the work we sense God calling us to.
