Customer Reviews

A book about living as if your beliefs and values matter.

This is an excellent book about joining your faith to the world of your everyday work. It is about living your beliefs and values, not about proselytizing your coworkers. Building on the premise that the people -- not the building and not just the clergy -- are the church, Diehl gives examples of how to live as part of the church in the world. with or without the help of your church and clergy. He suggests ways churches can recognize and support the ministries of members in their daily activities, not just their church work. It is a call to the laity to live out their baptism with confidence and suggests ways to get support from friends and people in your profession, as well as from those you attend church with. I stayed up too late reading the book and it has filled me with ideas about my own life. It is sensible, exciting, and more than a little subversive.
