On-The-Job Prayers

On-The-Job Prayers by William Thompson. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780879463021.

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.
