Summary: Superbly biblical and balanced!!!
Review: This is the second time I've read this book, the first being around the time it was originally published, but it hasn't lost its power and message, and it's profoundly moving and inspiring. I'd recommend that every new Christian, as well as every mature believer in Christ, including pastors, ministers, elders, and others get their hands on this little book for what it delivers, and delivers well.This book has an important message for the believer who feels that he is sentenced to being a second-class citizen in the Kingdom of God simply because he finds his daily calling in the secular world. If he is bored and frustrated with the work that God has given him to do, he will find here the path to joyful fulfillment. It's truly transforming to discover that the secular is sacred when God puts it into your hand, and that in working for that earthly employer, one is serving the Lord Christ. This book proves that there is no scriptural authority for the belief that serving God in business is any less spiritual than serving God in full-time ministry. With chapters like:
-No One Can Serve Two Masters;
-Assignment: Babylon;
-Up on the Lampstand;
-The Daily Grind;
-Trimming the Lamps;
-Glowing without Glaring (a terrific chapter);
-Light Housekeeping;
-Secrets of a Light Heavyweight;
-The Added Things;
-The Rest Areas;
-The Church in the Workplace; and
-Help Wanted: Spiritual Grownups (another great chapter),
this book is a God-send, and I can't believe that no one has ever reviewed it. It's a gem among gems, and it can be found on-line for under $2.00. So far I haven't been able to find any other book he has written which has addressed this area, but Larry Peabody surely has influenced some other authors in this regard, and he has given myself a great deal to think about and apply. I can't recommend this book highly enough, and I'd give it 10 stars if I could!!! A treasure to be had!!
