Enduring messages of principles and testimony

In TGIF: Today God Is First, Os Hillman provides a scripture and commentary for each day of the year. The 365 meditations on the principles of Christ in the workplace wonderfully focus the readers attention on how God's way is to employ ordinary men and women leading ordinary lives to achieve extraordinary things and personally experience how even adverse situations can be doors to spiritual opportunity. Highly recommended reading, Hillman's commentaries are not just simple homilies, they are enduring messages of principles and testimony of how God has worked experientially in his own life -- and can work in yours.

TGIF Today God Is First

Os Hillman does a great job of hearing from God, and expressing it in a concise, meaningful way for those of us in the marketplace. Few today recognize the viability of ministry by those who are laboring in the secular workplace; Os brings practical experience and perspective to those of us who are. And, it rings with the heartfelt experience of someone who has been there, and understands the unique trials and challenges of today's Christian walk in the marketplace. Highly recommended!

Relivent to todays workplace

I really enjoy this book. The first devotional that I have seen that is focused on the Workplace. The daily devotionals are a great way to start the day, especially if you don't have much time. They get to the point and always challenge me to live a more Godly life.

God tells Os what I need to hear!

I have read the Marketplace Meditations electronic version from Os Hillman for several years. It is very normal that I beseech the Lord for some clarification or insight in my prayer time at 6:00am and arrive at the office at 8:00am to find Os has chosen scripture and a meditation that "fits". Os' ability to see current marketplace applicability to stories that are several thousand years old is a gift to all of us who are serving The Lord in our work.
