Are those that work in fields outside of the church’s structure doing wrong for not being active ministers? This is something that many struggle with since they are not able to share the gospel all the time. Jordan Raynor tells those people that they do not need to worry because God sees value in their work. This message is important for everyone to hear. Raynor shows how God cares for all work that is done for Him, even if it is done in the secular workplace.<\/p>

Raynor raises a lot of good points, and I agree with much of what he writes. However, even with his explanation of what he means, I am still unsure about putting emphasis on pursuing eternal rewards. I do want to hear “Well done, good and faithful servant,” but I do not want my serving God to be done so that I get accolades. At this point, I cannot say Raynor is wrong, just that it is something that I cannot fully support without looking at it more.<\/p>

Overall, this is a good book for all Christians, but especially for those that are not in a full time ministry.<\/p>

I received a free ARC of the book from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
