Working for Better book coverWorking for Better: A New Approach to Faith at Work

The Boniuk Institute is excited to announce Working for Better: A New Approach to Faith at Work, a new book based on original Institute research, and authored by Elaine Howard Ecklund and Denise Daniels. In a world where workplaces are becoming increasingly diverse, Working for Better draws on more than twenty years of research and personal insights to offer a timely guide for Christians navigating the modern faith-at-work landscape.

Referencing detailed studies, Ecklund and Daniels identify five key tensions in the faith-at-work movement. With compelling stories and practical applications, Working for Better addresses the need for Christian workers and leaders to adapt to cultural shifts, offering guidance for a more redemptive presence at work. Each chapter concludes with thought-provoking questions for individual reflection or group discussion, making this book an essential resource for anyone seeking to integrate faith with their professional life. Whether you're a Christian worker, workplace leader, or pastor guiding others, Working for Better invites you to consider how to express Christian faith in professional settings without compromising beliefs or alienating others.

This book is available for purchase in August of 2025, but you can preorder your copy online today!
