The guest today on Working Man is Dr. DC Schindler. Dr. Schindler is Professor of Metaphysics and Anthropology at the Pontifical John Paul II Institute for Studies on Marriage and Family at the Catholic University of America. Dr Schindler is has written many book and articles, and he is renown for, among other things, his work on Swiss theologian Hans Urs von Balthasar, postmodern thought,  and more recently, the philosophy of work. 

On today’s episode, we discuss the philosophy of work, the dangers technology can pose to how we think about our work, Matthew Crawford’s excellent book, Shop Class as Soul Craft, and the first step to  finding God in your work.

Also, our last guest on Working Man, Dr. Jordan Ballor, has very generously donated copies of two of his books for a podcast giveaway.

The first is Makers of Modern Christian Social Thought: Leo XIII and Abraham Kuyper on the Social Question.

And the second is Get Your Hands Dirty: Essays on Christian Social Thought (and Action).

Dr. Ballor has offered to inscribe them and send them to ten lucky listeners  for free. (FREE BOOKS, YO!)

So here’s how you can win one of these books:

STEP ONE: Hop over to Apple Podcasts and Working Man a review. (Be honest with us. If you hate it, and give us half a star—that won’t affect your chances. If you love it, and give us all the stars, but that won’t affect your chances either.)

STEP TWO: Sign up for our Newsletter at HarmelAcademy.org. When you sign up, be sure to include: YOUR APPLE REVIEW HANDLE and YOUR ADDRESS so we can mail you the book. (If you are already signed up for our newsletter, just the contact form on our website to tell us you've reviewed us and to leave us your address).

The first ten folks to complete these two steps will win one of these two books. So thank you very much Dr. Ballor.
