Christians at WorkNot Business as Usual by Jan Wood |
|
"Fear, anger, ornery co-workers, seductive power games—the deck seems stacked against a Christian presence at work. Wood shines the light of the gospel on this place where we spend so much time (and show who we really are). With clarity, charity, and penetrating insight, she shows how the love of God can transform life in the office, board room, or factory floor. If you read only one book on work and faith this year, let this be it." --Wally Kroeker, Editor, The Marketplace, Mennonite Economic Development Associates (MEDA)
Work shapes nearly everyone’s life. Christians at Work gives every Christian worker the inspirational tools to move from toil to empowerment. The principles shared are as applicable to the student with a part-time job as to a corporate CEO.
This book leads us through such workplace pitfalls as control, anger, troublesome people, and seductions. Then it shows us how to make work a realm of sacred rituals and witness as we enter the adventure of workplace partnerships with God.
