Working for Better: A New Approach to Faith at Work offers a timely, research-based exploration of how Christians can navigate the challenges and opportunities of today's diverse workplaces.
Grounded in more than twenty years of research--including surveys of over 15,000 workers, focus groups, and more than 300 interviews--this book identifies five central tensions at the heart of the faith-and-work conversation. Through rich stories and practical insights, authors Elaine Howard Ecklund and Denise Daniels demonstrate how Christian workers can authentically live out their faith without compromising convictions or alienating colleagues.
The book combines rigorous scholarship with accessible applications, providing concrete strategies for workers, leaders, and pastors guiding others in professional contexts. Each chapter concludes with reflection questions, making it an excellent resource for individual study, classroom use, or small group discussion.
At its core, Working for Better encourages readers to see the workplace as a site where professional excellence, ethical integrity, and human flourishing intersect. By engaging the book's insights, students, scholars, and practitioners alike can better understand the role of faith in organizational life and gain tools for navigating cultural complexity in professional settings.
