How to bring glory to God, not ourselves, through our work

If your work-life balance is feeling a little off, the pressure of meeting targets and deadlines is leaving you feeling spent, and your identity so tightly bound with your job title that you struggle to know who you are when you take your work hat off, then this little book is for you! I Am What I Do helps us to realign our view of work with the gospel, encouraging us to secure our identity in Christ, not career progression or status. The first half of the book looks at the background to the mantra of “I am what I do”, while the second half talks through practical ways to counter that as Christians. I found chapter 4 particularly helpful as it looked at envy and pride, and how having an identity secure in Christ sets us free to celebrate and lift up those around us, helping us to stand out as a beacon in our workplace, when many seek only to glorify themselves. This short book only took me an hour to read, and I thoroughly recommend this as a helpful reset for all.
