Either we undervalue work, resenting it as simply a job, or we exalt it as the only thing defining our identity. Simply put, we live a divided life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo what do we do about it? Michael J. Naughton, drawing on his background in both business and theology, offers a remedy so old and so simple it has almost been forgotten: We can't get \u003ci\u003ework\u003c\/i\u003e right unless we get \u003ci\u003erest\u003c\/i\u003e right. The more we participate in authentic rest, the more our work becomes ordered and meaningful.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eWork \u0026amp; Rest\u003c\/i\u003e, Naughton lays the foundation for understanding what work is and why it is for our good.
