Can work be worship?A Good Return does not provide maxims to get you through the day. Instead, it is a book that encourages Christians to view their workspace as an avenue of worship. The world of work is expanding. New technologies, industries and means of communication, have presided in the transition of the workplace into a fast, digital and busier–than–ever era. With increasing demands and declining rewards, in whichever sector you care to name, work can become all–consuming, overwhelming,burdensome, dissatisfying, and more. It becomes easy to complain, drag one’s feet while getting out of the door, and face daily tasks with an apathetic attitude. When battling external pressures and internal conflicts, the workplace is a challenging environment. We need equipped to tackle so many aspects of working life:SalariesWealthTime managementMotivationRest and Sabbath The secular sacred divideEternal rewardsOur digital technological eraGospel supportHow should the Christian navigate these areas? John C. Lennox has crafted a book with thoughtful, biblical and evangelical deliberation on our behaviour in, and towards, our work. With his trademark clarity, faithfulness and wisdom, Lennox invites us into a wider discussion on Christian approaches to lots of areas of working life. "It will provide great help, encouragement and joyful inspiration to all who are seeking to apply the Lordship of Christ in all these vital areas of life” – Lindsay Brown (Former General Secretary of IFES and International Director, Lausanne Movement)

"A Grammar of Mishnaic Hebrew" is a foundational linguistic study that offers a comprehensive analysis of the Hebrew language as it was utilized during the period of the Mishnah. This work serves as a critical resource for scholars and students transitioning from Biblical Hebrew to the distinct characteristics of the Rabbinic idiom. M.H. Segal meticulously explores the phonology, morphology, and syntax of the dialect, demonstrating that Mishnaic Hebrew was a living, evolving language rather than a mere literary invention.By examining the structural nuances and vocabulary that define this specific era of the Hebrew language, the book provides essential insights into the development of Jewish sacred texts and early rabbinic literature. It addresses the historical context of the language's usage and its relationship to other Semitic languages of the time. This scholarly resource remains a vital tool for those interested in philology, Semitic studies, and the historical evolution of Hebrew. Through detailed explanations and systematic categorization, the work clarifies the complexities of the Mishnaic period, making it accessible for modern academic inquiry into the linguistic heritage of the Jewish tradition.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
