Norman Wirzba
(Cascade Books)
Way of Love invites readers to discover the Christian faith as a school that forms people in the practices of love. Love is the heart of Christian life because believers are called to follow in the footsteps of the God who is love. While attending to Scripture and the lives of saints and strugglers, Wirzba shows why love is hard, but also why it is necessary for the healing of our communities and world. Way of Love is unique because it shows that love is both a practice and the key to understanding what Christian teaching is fundamentally about, and why it matters for our daily lives. In a time when an increasing number of people see religion as irrelevant and Christian faith as mired in rancor and hate, Wirzba challenges Christians to a better way that prioritizes care and compassion for people and for the whole of creation.

W. David Buschart and Ryan Tafilowski
( IVP Academic )
Conversations about faith and work often miss an important truth: limitations are not a problem; they’re a key part of what it means to be human. Work has always been part of humanity’s purpose, but we’re no longer in the perfect Garden of Eden, nor are we in the future new heavens and new earth. To truly address the challenges of work, we need a new theological perspective.
In Worth Doing, David Buschart and Ryan Tafilowski embrace the realities of limitations, challenging the myths of “You are what you do” and “Do what you love.” Instead, they propose a theology of work that affirms the goodness of human limits while addressing the realities of fallenness, offering hope for those who may not find deep fulfillment in their daily jobs.
Buschart and Tafilowski outline a new vision of work that resonates with all workers, recognizing that every job has value, even when it doesn’t align with idealized notions of purpose or calling. By embracing this perspective, people can find new ways to approach daily labor, even when it doesn’t feel deeply fulfilling.
In Worth Doing, readers will:
– Gain a theology of work that moves beyond only ideas of productivity or calling.
– Learn how to embrace human limitations as part of God’s good design.
– Reflect on the ways work connects to broader questions of purpose and human flourishing.
Worth Doing invites readers to consider their limitations as valuable aspects of their vocational journey, offering a thoughtful framework for addressing the complexities of work. This book is particularly relevant for theologians examining the intersections of work, faith, and rest; Christian educators; and leaders in the faith and work space. By moving beyond conventional theological approaches to faith and work, Worth Doing presents a hopeful and theologically rich perspective on vocation that acknowledges and embraces human limitations.
