Book Description
In Matthew 10:16, Christ advised His Apostles to be "wise" and "innocent" as they go out "in the midst of wolves." This book shows Christians how to be wise and innocent as they work among people who sometimes behave like wolves. Temptation, greed, dishonesty, and misguided ambition have always presented challenges for Christians in the workplace. Add secular bias, political correctness, and persecution to the mix, and the modern workplace becomes a foreboding environment for Christians to navigate. This is so much the case, many Christians wonder if it is still possible to earn a living without compromising their faith. Christians on the Job does more than demonstrate that Christians can stand firm when confronted with faith-related dilemmas in the workplace. It also demonstrates how to go about it. Using concepts illustrated with real-life examples, steps to implement in specific situations, life application questions, and resources for going deeper, Dr. Goetsch draws a clear map to ensure Christians can find their way and thrive on the job.
Every Good Endeavour
Author: Timothy Keller

Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
In today's increasingly competitive and insecure economic environment, we often question the reason for work: why am I doing this? Why is it so hard? And what can I do about it? Work may seem just a means to an end: we do it to earn the money to enjoy life outside the workplace. Here, Timothy Keller argues that God's plan is radically more ambitious: he actually created us to work. We are to work together to make the world a better place, to help each other, and so to find purpose for our lives. Our faith should enhance our work, and our work should develop our faith.With deep insight, Timothy Keller draws on essential and relevant biblical wisdom to address our questions about work. There is grace available if we have taken the wrong attitude, idolising money and using our careers to glorify ourselves rather than God. This book provides the foundations for a work-life balance where we can thrive both personally and professionally. Keller shows how through excellence, integrity, discipline, creativity and passion in the workplace we can impact society for good.Developing a better attitude to work releases us to serve others humbly, to worship God everyday, and leaves us deeply fulfilled.

The most enduring success principles for the workplace have roots in Scripture.

Christian Women on the Job provides twelve specific strategies that will help women excel by overcoming the hindrances they face at work. Karen Moore, bestselling author of devotional and prayer books, shares encouraging words and inspiring prayers and thoughts.

Kierkegaard on Faith and Love
Author: Sharon Krishek
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1139479911
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 217
Book Description
Kierkegaard's writings are interspersed with remarkable stories of love, commonly understood as a literary device that illustrates the problematic nature of aesthetic and ethical forms of life, and the contrasting desirability of the life of faith. Sharon Krishek argues that for Kierkegaard the connection between love and faith is far from being merely illustrative. Rather, love and faith have a common structure, and are involved with one another in a way that makes it impossible to love well without faith. Remarkably, this applies to romantic love no less than to neighbourly love. Krishek's original and compelling interpretation of the Works of Love in the light of Kierkegaard's famous analysis of the paradoxicality of faith in Fear and Trembling shows that preferential love, and in particular romantic love, plays a much more important and positive role in his thinking than has usually been assumed.

Book Description
Loving others “as Christ has loved you” can be challenging, but if you want to build stronger relationships with God and others, it’s not an option; it’s a must! Jesus teaches us in John 15:10-12 that remaining in His love by loving one another “as He has loved us” releases and increases His joy within us. The joy of the Lord is our strength, therefore, as we continue to grow in the love of Christ we become stronger. The Love Challenge is a tool to help us do just that. The Love Challenge encourages us to be affirmed in the unfailing love of God in spite of our imperfections. It also challenges us to love ourselves Biblically in spite of our imperfections, as well as others in spite of theirs. The Love Challenge also reveals how to build your relationship, be it husband and wife, parent and child, couples engaged and dating, siblings, etc., on the solid foundation of Biblical love. God’s way of loving others is the way to love. His way works. The “21-Day Love Challenge,” takes you and your loved ones on a three-week journey where you pledge to strengthen your relationship by expressing eight attributes of Biblical love from 1 Corinthian 13:4-8 towards yourself, one another, and others each day. Eight is the number of new beginnings. Take your relationship into a new beginning by taking on the love challenge, which is to follow Christ’s example of genuine and mature love. As you put the principles taught in The Love Challenge into practice, you will be walking on the path to new levels of love, joy, spiritual growth, and strength. Are you ready for The Love Challenge?
