"So don't you see that we don't owe this old do-it-yourself life one red cent. There's nothing in it for us, nothing at all. The best thing to do is give it a decent burial and get on with your new life. God's Spirit beckons. There are things to do and places to go!" - Romans 8:12-14 (The Message)

No More Dreaded Mondays by Dan Miller
This book is a challenging read, not because of any difficult words or concepts, but because it challenges you to change your perspective on work. Ultimately, we are rewarded with the reality of a process within each of us to fulfill our God given calling (vocation). Dan Miller balances his own personal experiences with examples of others which hit home, no matter what your background. Crisis points occur within all our lives. Is there a right or wrong way, or is it simply a journey to discover our life long purpose on earth? In summary, Dan writes, “While I certainly don’t advocate confusing “who we are” with “what we do,” I believe that our work can be our best gift to ourselves, our friends and family, our communities—and the best expression of our purpose here on earth … But as long as we view work as simply something we have to do to pay the bills, we keep ourselves from embracing our talents and gifts, from recognizing our visions, dreams, and passions.” There are nuggets throughout this book you won’t want to miss as it assists you to find true satisfaction in the work you do. I believe you will stop living for the weekend and start living for Mondays! Will you join the revolution? I did.
