Description



About the Book



This groundbreaking book by Gregory Pierce remains one of the bibles of the "workplace spirituality movement," which holds that the work we do has enormous spiritual significance. This edition of "Spirituality at Work" will find an eager audience among the countless people who are not willing to suspend their spiritual lives just because they have to go to the office. Through ten different disciplines of workplace spirituality, Pierce encourages us to see the office not only as a place where "we" work, but also as a place where God works in our lives and showers us with many blessings.



Book Synopsis



Gregory F. A. Pierce makes a striking claim: The holy and the transcendent can be found in the midst of the hustle and bustle of daily work. Rather than being a "grind," our work can be "grist" for our spiritual mills. Indeed, the work we do has enormous spiritual significance. "Spirituality at Work" offers invaluable guidance for everyone who seeks to nourish their spiritual lives while on the job.
Pierce's ten disciplines of workplace spirituality include:
- finding sacred objects
- living with imperfection
- assuring quality
- giving thanks and congratulations
- building support and community
- dealing with others as you would have them deal with you
- deciding what is enough--and sticking to it
- balancing work, personal, family, church, and community responsibilities
- working to make "the system" work
- engaging in ongoing personal and professional development
