Experiencing God in Your Work
A major “faith – work gap” exists in Christianity. Many Christians encounter a wide spiritual gap between their Sunday worship and their Monday through Friday work experience. Jesus’ promise of a full and abundant life seems foreign to most when it comes to their work.
Work is the place where people spend the majority of their lives, yet it is the place where God is experienced the least. Furthermore, while the home is the most difficult place to authentically live out one’s faith, the workplace is the place where most feel disconnected from their faith. The truth is most Christians have never been exposed to the exciting vision God has for them in their work nor have they had good role models in this arena.
The book “Experiencing God in Your Work” reveals God’s preeminent purpose for you in your work. Understanding God’s purpose will help you in establishing critical work related priorities. The perspectives in this book will also help you establish Biblical values that will guide you in making God honoring decisions on real issues. One of the best parts of the book are the stories. These stories will stimulate your ideas on how to apply the Bible to critical workplace situations or even create new initiatives that will impact people for eternity.
The book is specifically designed for small group discussions who want to sincerely integrate their faith into their work.

Because Your Heart Matters
I have known Joe for many years and we have ministered together in the local church and in conferences in the developing world. I have been impressed with his speaking ability and now I am enamored with his writing acumen. Chapters 8 and 10 are worth the book. The book is a gift to believers everywhere.

In these rich reflections, Joe Carroll helps us reconnect our hearts to God’s heart. The insights and stories illustrate the gospel with a capital “G”. The application of the Gospel, as Joe says, is that “following Christ involves carrying a cross and not a broom”. The effort to continually clean up our lives with our own “broom” is exhausting. Applying the cross and the true Gospel that this book explores is liberating.

“Because Your Heart Matters” speaks volumes of our deepest need, to know our own heart, and God’s heart toward us. I recommend this book to all who are willing to peel back those protective layers we have covered our hearts with, and connect our heads with our hearts, perhaps for the first time in our lives.

“Because Your Heart Matters” is a look at something most of us avoid looking at, done in a positive and inspiring manner. A quick read, well worth your time.
