On-the-job Prayers William Thompson

The workplace is where most of us spend the major part of our lives, in both time and energy, but many of us have trouble experiencing our work as a holy and fulfilling activity. Inspired by the belief that God is everywhere, On-the-Job Prayers is the workplace prayer book that we have been waiting for?practical, concise and effective.

Focusing on the day-to-day feelings and events that almost everyone who works will face, such as "Escaping the Rat Race," "Monday Morning," "Reshaping Stress," and "If I Could Change Jobs," On-the-Job Prayers uses an integrated approach to prayer utilizing Scripture, a reading from a variety of thinkers and writers on the spirituality of work, and concludes with a workplace prayer written or chosen by the author. Readings come from people like Rudolph Giuliani, Reinhold Niebuhr, and Florence Henderson. There are also three helpful indexes: Source Index, Scripture Index, and Subject Index.
