Book - Joy at Work: A Revolutionary Approach to Fun on the Job, by Dennis Bakke - Bakke asserts that everyone working, regardless of where, should see his or her work as a sacred responsibility. We are called upon to steward our talents and skills and to use them in stewardship of the planet where we apply them. “Entering into the master’s joy” is a matter of recognizing that linkage. The Creator has delegated the decisions about Earth’s stewardship to us, and we ought to take that responsibility as a sacred trust and as a duty to honor our Creator in all we do. OVERVIEW

Work and Rest - A Message by Tim Keller, Redeemer Pres Church, NYC The religious leaders in Jesus’ time had a long list of rules regarding the Sabbath. When questioned, Jesus does not respond by dismissing the Sabbath, but rather redefines it — by dying on a cross. As Christians, we are able to enter into his rest and enjoy the same rest that God enjoyed after creation, by means of his works, not ours. The Sabbath is a blessing from God and one we will only enjoy if we understand it correctly.
