Anointed for Work

by Richard Brunton

Drawing on over 35 years of business success and Christian wisdom, this book is an invitation to step into an exciting and fulfilling world, where the supernatural has a powerful impact in the workplace and in the marketplace.

In recent years there have been some excellent books written about faith in the workplace. But as Richard Brunton (author of The Awesome Power of Blessing) spoke with normal, everyday Christians, he found that very few people seem to really believe and embrace the truth that the Holy Spirit wants to help believers in their daily work just as much as when they contribute at church. The Holy Spirit wants to come alongside us at the office, on the building site, in the home, or wherever our workplace is.

As we surrender our workplace skills to Him, He will add love, inspiration, creativity and beauty to what we produce. God takes great delight in this partnership. After all, we were created by Him for joy and intimacy.

This was a short, easy read, but very good. I loved the encouragement Brunton gave to seek the Lord’s help and blessing even in the “normal” parts of work life. He gave some wonderful examples of answers to prayer in here, as well as practical steps for how to invite the Lord into even the more secular areas of life. For example, he talks about praying over his worker’s chairs early one morning, calling God’s help and blessing down on them. And he talks about getting people experienced in the work fields you’re going into to pray specific help and blessing over you—like a soon-to-be mother getting other mothers to come around her and bless her as she starts her journey in motherhood. I loved that idea!

I came away with a lot to think about from this book, and though I didn’t agree with everything doctrinally, I found it quite encouraging. I’d like to read it again to see what more I could get out of it!

Small, encouraging, impacting. Tackles the issues of workers and employers who are not "anointed" for full-time pulpit ministry and who might consequently be side-lined as second-class Kingdom citizens through a misunderstanding of Kingdom principles.

This book, while easy to read is challenging :)
