But we urge you, brethren, to excel still more, and to make it your ambition to lead a quiet life and attend to your own business and work with your hands, just as we commanded you, so that you will behave properly toward outsiders and not be in any need. 1 Thessalonians 4:10-12On this note, I wish more biographies were written about Christians who weren't foreign missionaries or pastors. Just reading through the New Testament, you don't get the feeling a large percentage of Christians are going to end up in one of these callings. The majority are going to end up keeping house or going to work, and I think it would be a great service to have more stories from Christians who "excelled still more" in these roles.
