Garden City, by John Mark Comer, is a fresh take on our work, our calling, and finding our purpose. Comer explores the scriptures to discover God’s original intent for how we are meant to spend our time. It’s about the reality that what we do matters, just as much as who we are—and a reminder that we were never meant to pull the two apart.

Popular pastor and speaker John Mark Comer gives a fresh take on Christian calling and purpose, with a surprisingly counter-culture response. Through his creative and conversational style, he challenges the typical “spiritual” answer of the church, reshaping how young professionals should view and do their work, rest, and life.

Comer probes questions like “Does God care where I work?”, “Does he have a clear direction for me? and “What about what I do with my free time or how much rest I get?” While many of the books in this category are written to professionals aged forty and up, Garden City is written in language that makes sense and is accessible to younger Christians who are still very much engaging with these questions.

This is the Purpose Driven Life for the next generation—the book that will help twenty- and thirty-somethings who are figuring out next steps and direction in their lives to understand and embrace what it means to be truly human.
