Experiencing God In Your Work Insights and Stories to Help You Connect Meaningfully with God in Your Work

A major "faith – work gap" exists in Christianity. Many Christians encounter a wide spiritual gap between their Sunday worship and their Monday through Friday work experience. Jesus' promise of a full and abundant life seems foreign to most when it comes to their work.

Work is the place where people spend the majority of their lives, yet it is the place where God is experienced the least. Furthermore, while the home is the most difficult place to authentically live out one's faith, the workplace is the place where most feel disconnected from their faith. The truth is most Christians have never been exposed to the exciting vision God has for them in their work nor have they had good role models in this arena.

The book "Experiencing God in Your Work" reveals God's preeminent purpose for you in your work. Understanding God's purpose will help you in establishing critical work related priorities. The perspectives in this book will also help you establish Biblical values that will guide you in making God honoring decisions on real issues. One of the best parts of the book are the stories. These stories will stimulate your ideas on how to apply the Bible to critical workplace situations or even create new initiatives that will impact people for eternity.

The book is specifically designed for small group discussions who want to sincerely integrate their faith into their work.
