Making Life Work
Putting God’s Wisdom into Action
by Bill Hybels
GoodBookStall Review:
A timely reissue of a 1988 volume, this application of wisdom from the book of Proverbs to everyday life has never been more relevant. Drawing liberally on other parts of Scripture and filled as usual with personal and family experiences of the author, Making Life Work never sugars the pill, but describes clear choices that must be made in pursuit of a balanced, God-honouring life. Topics covered include taking initiative, doing good, developing discipline, speaking truth, marriage and family, cultivating compassion, managing anger and trusting God, and each chapter ends with ten or eleven questions designed to help the reader connect the teaching to his or her own life. Practical and uncompromising but never condemnatory, filled with God’s love – vintage Bill Hybels.
