What does it mean to be a Christian in your work? In this book authors working in fields from the arts to finance and the academy offer practical advice to Christians about what it means to live a life of robust faith and work. Authors address a number of key questions: How do they understand what it means to be a Christian in their profession? What difference does it make? What kinds problems have they encountered?

Those who want to learn how to integrate Christ fully into their careers or who are looking for evidence of God's redemptive work in the academy, culture, business, and government will be greatly encouraged and challenged by this book.

The second meaning of the theme is that our fullness as persons and workers is only realized in faithfulness.
