Description: We Christians are not immune to the dissatisfactions others experience in their work and leisure pursuits. In all likelihood, our problems stem from our adherence to a secularized perspective that views work as the means to material gain, with leisure a badly needed respite from work's drudgery.

Leland Ryken examines this secular view and points to the liberating perspective of the Scriptures: both our work and our leisure have as their overarching aim to glorify God.

Blue-collar worker or white, homemaker or career woman, this book will profoundly influence the attitudes and motivations you bring to your work and to your play.

"This exploration of work and leisure is a good and wise book. It is the best and wisest treatment of its theme that I have met. Thoroughly researched by its gifted author, it dispels muddle and imbalance with a master hand. It is a book that needed to be written, and I am delighted that it has been."
--James I. Packer, Regent College

"Leland Ryken carefully canvasses the literature and provides the general reader with a clear statement of important issues regarding work and leisure and how the biblical tradition addresses them. In particular he corrects misinterpretations of the Puritans and builds on their ideas. A needed volume."
--Arthur F. Holmes, Department of Philosophy, Wheaton College
