Read Grace at Work , and then let God's grace shape the way you treat others. ~ Kevin East, President & CEO at Mentoring Alliance You're a follower of Jesus. You don't take that lightly. But, like everybody else, you've got to work. And, like everybody else, the primary reason you work is for the paycheck. Yet, you'd like to bring more to it and get more out of it than that. But its challenges, difficulties, and culture complicate your ability to play your position well. The reason so many Christians are disappointed in their work is because they've been expecting it to bring joy and provide meaning to their lives. But what if God never intended for work to bring joy or meaning to you, but for you to bring those things to it? You can't avoid the challenges of the marketplace, but you can change the way you operate in the marketplace. How? By LOVING the people you work with the way God loves you . By TREATING the people you work with the way God treats you . That is grace. This book is about rewiring your thinking when it comes to the role God wants you to play at work. The result? Getting far more work than just a paycheck and enjoying your job and the people you work with so much more.
