Synopsis

Why do so many Christians struggle to relate their faith to their daily work? In this book John C. Knapp argues that the church's ambiguous teachings about vocation, money, and business have long contributed to Christians' uncertainty about discipleship in the workplace. Drawing on his own expertise in business ethics and numerous interviews with Christians in diverse occupations, Knapp offers a new theological framework for Christian life in the world of business.

Media Reviews
There are over 2,000 Bible verses that address business, yet how often do we hear a message in church that relates to business in any practical way? John Knapp's excellent book presents a much-needed wake-up call for pastors, churches, and Christian businesspeople alike.

Knapp shows how Christian faith is not an obstacle to worldly vocations but, rather, permits the engagement of our spirits with our roles in business, finance, and commerce.
