Overview

We were created to work, and feel most happy, alive, and useful doing the work we were created to do. The act of productivity is its own reward.

Half a man’s life is bound up in his work, but few men ever learn a biblical framework, or “theology of work,” to help think correctly about all those hours, weeks and years they invest in their job. Patrick Morley, author of The Man in the Mirror knows that men everywhere want their lives to count and make a real difference. He has written a book for men in the workforce who want to integrate their faith and work. Whether a businessman, construction worker, salesman, lawyer, accountant, or plumber, men will be introduced to principles which provide a better understanding of themselves and how to be most effective and valuable in their chosen career.

A Man’s Guide to Work helps train men for the marketplace. It helps them figure out how their relationship with God should influence their work and relationships with colleagues. It ultimately shows men how to experience the power of God in their work, to bring about social transformation through their work and how to make their work life count for the glory of God!

Patrick Morley is regarded as one of America’s most respected authorities on the challenges and opportunities that men face. He has been used throughout the world to help men think more deeply about their lives.

Since 1986, Patrick has taught a Bible study to approximately 10,000 men—reaching the majority through a video Bible study webcast over the Internet in all 50 states and throughout the world.

In 1989, he wrote The Man in the Mirror, coming from his own search for meaning, purpose, and a deeper relationship with God. With over 3,000,000 copies, this best-selling book was selected as one of the 100 most influential Christian books of the twentieth century.
