The Dignity of Manual Labour

Although work requires the assistance of the whole being, Z.T. Fomum takes care to show that there is spiritual work, intellectual work, and manual work. Manual work is that which requires physical energy in any accomplishment. Therefore, it is obvious to note that all the heroes of the Bible were great manual workers, beginning with God Himself. Thus, every manual work should be done with a sense of honour, respect, and perfection. In this book, the author exhorts the Third World to work, to cultivate the abundant land that God has given them. Each worker must ensure that God is glorified in his work by his nature and that this work is pleasing to God in its quality and quantity of productivity. This book is a study of work through the Bible. Read it and be blessed.
