About this listen

Read by the author.

A purposeful guide for 20- and 30-somethings to understand and embrace their calling as well as immediate next steps for their lives.

You've heard people say, "Who you are matters more than what you do." But does the Bible really teach that?

In Garden City, popular pastor and speaker John Mark Comer gives a surprisingly countercultural take on the typical "spiritual" answer of the church. Comer explores Scripture to discover God's original intent for how we are meant to spend our time, reshaping how you view and do your work, rest, and life.

Here, you'll find answers to questions like:

  • Does God care where I work?
  • Does he have a clear direction for me?
  • What about what I do with my free time or how much rest I get?

In this book, you'll learn that it's ultimately about the reality that what we do matters, just as much as who we are.

So encouraging and easy to listen to!

It brings everything beautifully back to basics and far away from legalistic stuff. A really great look at what God created us to do in life.

Wonderful book. Life changing.

Changed the way I viewed work (in a good way)

As with ‘ruthless elimination of hurry’ John marks other book, there are lots of times you pause, think and soul search before continuing, and that’s a great thing!
