Reflections on a Higher Call

Do you put your faith and work in different boxes? Work stays at work; faith stays at church (or home). Spirituality has nothing to do with the marketplace; business has nothing to do with religion. What happens at the office stays at the office. Have you failed at past attempts to connect these two facets of life? Some have tried or observed unsuccessful efforts to integrate faith and work and recall the awkward or disastrous results. Often red flags go up when people introduce themselves as a "Christian" businessperson. Alarms clang when people use religion of any kind as a negotiating chip. Great faith cannot compensate for unethical behavior or mediocre work. This book offers a better way for business professionals seeking to positively impact their workplace. If you have never made a connection between your work and your faith, listen up! God has intentionally designed your life circumstances to accomplish His purposes.
