My take-away from this book, even though I no longer have a life at work; is the four powerful elements of calling, character, skill and serving still very much apply to me.

Another excellent book by John Maxwell, this time in collaboration with Stephen R. Graves and Thomas G. Addington, founders of Life@Work Journal. The four elements of successful integration of what we believe and how we work have been identified and explored in this seamless outline of connecting what we hear on Sunday wiith what we do on Monday. The first is skill (we improve our credibility when we demonstrate our faith AND ability), folowed by calling, serving (expanding the theme of servant-leadership), and character. This is essential reading for the Christian in the workplace.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and recommend it for Christians who struggle with the work, church, family, and spiritual life balance.

This was good and I highlighted stuff, but I expected a bit more practical guidance. It just didn’t give me as much as I needed.
