Book: "The Gift of Work" by Bill Heatley

Dallas Williard starts this book off with a high expectation of what is to come in Mr. Heatley's The Gift of Work.

Dave Moore told me about the book and was intrigued by the name; I agree. What a gift work can be; what a gift work should be; what a gift work IS!

The typical person, me included, does not properly embrace the challenge of work and thus, we run from the stress of our work; we want our work to be easy. How many times have we said...just a day without problems.

As Gary Thomas might say, "what if work was more about making us holy instead of making us money and/or happy?"

Outline and details of The Gift of Work forthcoming.
