Letters Patent
In Letters Patent: A Practical Theology of Work author Graham Leo takes us through our day-to-day lives and challenges us to see all the work we do as God’s work. Daily work is the most important thing for most people apart from their family lives. But few Christians understand that God gave work to us as a vocation. He stepped back and trusted us to manage the entire world in his place. Our work is our Royal Commission, our Letters Patent.
Endorsements
Letters Patent: A Practical Theology of Work is a welcome contribution to the meagre Australian library section on the theology of work. Graham Leo has written a clear and concise theological reflection on human work from the heart of his own experience. He offers many useful suggestions for church practice that are worthy of serious discussion. I commend leadership of this task at the local level to all who read this book for the sake of God's kingdom.

Graham Leo's Letters Patent: A Practical Theology of Work lives up to its subtitle - it is profoundly practical. In a most useful and practical manner, Leo provides a long list of suggestions for how the local church might engage with the work lives of their congregation members. The Australian church will be enriched if its many ordained and lay leaders and everyday workers (paid or unpaid) buy this book, study it in groups, and put into practice its recommendations.
