About this listen

Read by the author.

Rediscover your purpose and passion for life as bestselling author John Mark Comer guides you through the Bible's vision for work, rest, and living fully human.

We've all heard it said: It's who you are that matters, not what you do. Really? Where do the Scriptures teach that? After all, from the very first pages of the Bible, human beings were made to rule over and care for the earth. By calling and by commission, humanity was created to do good work.

In Garden City, pastor and New York Times bestselling author John Mark Comer will help you discover that, ultimately, what you do matters just as much as who you are. You will explore answers to questions like,

  • Does God care where I work?
  • Does he have a clear direction for me?
  • How can I create a rhythm for work and a practice of rest?

This book isn't about how to get ahead in your career or spruce up your resume—it's about working, resting, and living a full existence. It's about spiritual life invading all of life.

I work nights and I have been so thankful to hearing these life giving words in the early hours. It has refreshed my soul, and reminded me of the hope that can leak, or feel jaded in day to day life. Permission to grow again in the garden city, not choke in the weeds of consumerism and conformity.

This book is life changing. John Mark Comer opened my eyes to the biblical view of work, rest and giving glory to God with everything that we do. It made me truly excited about living for His Kingdom in this life and even more excited for His Kingdom to fully come when Christ returns. Our work matters, we can glorify God with our vocations as well as our hearts.
