Here’s what D.A. Carson had to say about Tom Nelson’s fine book on Christian vocation,\u00c2\u00a0Work Matters: Connecting Sunday Worship to Monday Work<\/em><\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Not many pastors are adept at encouraging the Christians they serve to think deeply about the work they undertake during the six days when they are not gathering for corporate worship. So many of our applications and exhortations, as important and as faithful as they are, deal with prayer, Bible reading, family relationships, and evangelism, and not with the work that takes up much of our time and that we are called to offer up to God. I first heard Tom Nelson bring some clarity to these matters in some addresses at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, and I am delighted to see his reflections expanded and put into print. This book is greatly needed.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u201dD. A. Carson, Research Professor of New Testament, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
