Mastering Monday: A Guide to Integrating Faith and Work

by John D. Beckett

Many business books point to certain values or habits to be practiced and cultivated. But we need more than abstract principles to guide us in the pursuit of good business. More significantly, we need a genuine experience of the dynamic presence of God at work in our work. Businessman and CEO John Beckett calls us to the transformation of the workplace into a place where the kingdom of God is experienced. Through sharing his own story, as well as looking to biblical and modern-day examples, Beckett offers role models that serve as companions on the journey to faithful and fruitful work. Drawing on a lifetime of wisdom and business acumen, Beckett invites us to enter into the privilege of working in active partnership with God himself. Join the international movement of those whose faith is transforming their work. Master your Mondays by bringing them under the realm of the Master.

I listened to the audio version of this book. I didn't think it was as good as "Loving Monday." But maybe that was because it was the audio version. At any rate, there were several good messages that I plan to incorporate into my career on a daily basis. It felt good to hear about a business owner who is successful and contributes it all to his faith. It made me want to send my resume to him!

Too many stories that dragged on, but a great book to skim and catch the highlights. Favorite quote - "God's nature was, and is, to work. This key aspect of His identity stands in stark contrast to other world religions whose god or gods are passive, abstract, and inactive."

Not that great in my opinion. Got some great tidbits and enjoyed reading about leaders in the bible, just wasn't what I thought it was going to be!

Amazing book that really paints a clear picture of how to apply your faith in Christ to the work place. My copy is highlighted, book marked and will be referenced for years!
