"When work knocks us down, the temptation can be to quickly begin to pick up the pieces. But the invitation here is for us to survey the damage first and bring our pain to God." Read an excerpt of 'When Work Hurts' by Meryl Herr at Common Good Magazine: https://lnkd.in/gsu6D-im

Sometimes work hurts even when we're still employed. We spend most of our days at work, but we don't always talk about the pain that comes with it. Meryl Herr says, "Work can certainly break our bodies. But more often it breaks our hearts." Herr's new book, 'When Work Hurts' addresses trauma, harassment, job loss, and disillusionment in the workplace. She shows that we can take comfort in the fact that God is at work in the midst of our work to bring healing and hope.

The Bible tells us that work will be difficult—filled with thorns and thistles—but no one prepares us for the pain we experience on the job. We might be discouraged, disillusioned, or devastated by our work. We might experience trauma or harassment on the job, or we may have experienced work loss by getting fired. In ‘When Work Hurts,’ Meryl Herr explores the emotional, relational, and vocational pain that work causes and helps us build resilience. Order it today!
