Finding purpose at work is one of the greatest challenges in the globalized world today. As an investment banker in London, Ken Costa has read The Financial Times and The Bible almost every day for thirty years, and takes issue with the widespread view that God and business do not mix. To Ken, the God who created and sustains the world is also the God of the workplace, and if the Christian faith is not relevant to the work place it is not relevant at all. This book is packed with surprises and with real-life case studies of ethical dilemmas in business which brings the author's arguments forcefully to life. God at Work shares practical and life changing steps to live out your faith at work and bring glory to God. In this book you will find ways to experience tremendous joy in letting God work in you and through you at work. God at Work satisfies a deep-seated gap in the literature of business practice, and appeals to Christians of all denominations-or anyone who takes the Bible seriously, even if they rarely go to church.



God at Work is a 6-session course looking at how the Christian faith can be lived out with purpose and integrity in the workplace. The 6 sessions covered are:
  • Work Matters
  • Ambition and Life Choices
  • Tough Decisions
  • Stress and Work-Life Balance
  • Failure, Disappointment and Hope

The Leaders Guideenables you to lead the course and can be run in church small groups or in workplace based fellowships.
