Glory in the Ordinary: Why Your Work in the Home Matters to God

Folding laundry. Weeding the garden. Cooking dinner. Changing diapers. Work in the home can seem so ordinary. Does any of it matter? Is there meaning in our most mundane moments at home?

When the work of the home fills our days, it is easy to get disillusioned and miss God’s grand purpose for our work. As image bearers of the Creator who made us to work, we contribute to society, bringing order out of chaos and loving God through loving others—meaning there’s glory in every moment. This encouraging book combats the common misconceptions about the value of at-home work—helping us see how Christ infuses purpose into every facet of the ordinary.
