Where do we find the core of life’s meaning? Right on the job! At whatever work we do–with head or hand, from kitchen to executive suite, from your house to the White House! Work is the great equalizer–everyone has to come to it in order to find meaning in living: no short cuts, no detours, no bargain rates.

For DeKoster, bringing hope to the world of work is not only crucial to finding meaning in our work, but to finding meaning in our lives as a whole. If we do our daily work without the hope that God is present and active in it, our lives become ‘a wilderness of work, ’ a desert through which we trudge, desperately thirsting for meaning and purpose. If we work with hope, that thirst will be satisfied–not only in our work, but increasingly in the rest of our lives as well. –Greg Forster, from the Afterword
