Thanks to The Bible Project for this excellent resource.

Last Sunday, Pastor Eric recommended Every Good Endeavor: Connecting Your Work To God's Plan For the World by Tim Keller.

“Work is so foundational to our makeup that it is one of the few things we can take in significant doses without harm. Indeed, the Bible does not say we should work one day and rest six or that work and rest should be balanced evenly but directs us to the opposite ratio. Leisure and pleasure are great goods, but we can take only so much of them.” 

A classic novel.
