Work can be a daily grind―a hard, monotonous set of thankless tasks. In the midst of the ongoing toil, many are plagued by a lack of purpose, confused as to what to do and who to become. And while some of our vocations may seem more overtly meaningful than others’, the truth is that most of us work because we have to. It is a means to an end―survival.

Given the enormous amount of time each of us spends working, we would do well to understand our callings and how God works through them.

Here culture expert Gene Veith gives us more than a simple understanding of work―more than a catchy slogan to “do all things for the glory of God.” He outlines a spiritual framework for answering questions such as:

• What does it mean to be a Christian businessperson or a Christian artist or a Christian lawyer, scientist, construction worker or whatever? 
• How can I know what I am supposed to do with my life? 
• What does it mean to raise a Christian family? And what if I don’t have kids? 

Unpacking the Bible’s teaching on work, Veith helps us to see the meaning in our vocations, the force behind our ethics, and the transformative presence of God in our everyday, ordinary lives.

“I’ve arrived in London without incident. There are few triumphs in my recent life, but I count this as one. My existence of the last three years has been nothing but incident.”

The Year is 1883 and Emma M. Lion has returned to her London neighborhood of St. Crispian’s. But Emma’s plans for a charmed and studious life are sabotaged by her eccentric Cousin Archibald, her formidable Aunt Eugenia, and the slightly odd denizens of St. Crispian’s.

Emma M. Lion offers up her Unselected Journals, however self-incriminating they may be. Armed with wit and a sideways amusement, Emma documents the curious realities of her life at Lapis Lazuli House.

Wisdom on Her Tongue: Tips for Getting Back Your Weekends & Holidays & Learning to Communicate Effectively in Marriage is a candid, biblically grounded manual for Christian wives who desire to grow in spiritual maturity and relational wisdom. Framed by the call of Proverbs 31 and Titus 2, the book argues that a woman’s ability to communicate with grace, respect, and restraint is one of the bellwethers of a successful Christian marriage. Does she often reach for the tools of manipulation, sarcasm, and emotional impulsivity? Or does she instead favor meekness, patience, clarity, and Christian charity? The answer will likely reveal whether a woman is building up her household—or tearing it down.

The book is structured as a series of short, pointed chapters covering topics like anger, respect, honor, and self-control, often encouraging women toward the hard, good work of cultivating a gentle and quiet spirit. Sauvé urges readers to break generational cycles of bitterness and drama by pursuing habits that bring peace into the home. The tone of the book is both kind and direct, offering correction with warmth and Christian hope. With a forward and closing exhortation from her husband, Pastor Brian Sauvé, the book serves as both a rebuke and a rallying cry for women seeking to become crowns to their husbands and builders of flourishing Christian households.
