Work That Matters makes a major contribution to how we Christians think about work. We must work to sustain ourselves, but how can we gain much more from our work than simply toiling to survive? We must not live with divided hearts. Holiness is based on gratefully and constructively acknowledging the presence of God in all that we are and do.

By always testing the limits, a young Michael had a yearning to understand "the secret of life" and began to "see things worth seeing." During the turbulent '60's in San Francisco he makes his first films exploring his inner world. Later, under the pressure to support a family, he moves to New York and lands "real jobs" in the entertainment industry. But while climbing the corporate ladder, he loses his footing on the spiritual path. With guidance from his mentors, friends, and wife, he regains his sense of purpose, which brings him today into the most productive and satisfying period of his life. This book is a record of that journey and of those things that are important to creating a contented life.
