Get Help to Live Your Faith at Work and Resist Falling Prey to the Seven Deadly Sins

“Be doers of the word and not hearers only.”

But when we go to church, we rarely hear practical insight into how Jesus’ teachings apply to living our faith at work.

Instead, we may hear words that seem to be intended to scare us or shame us. Or we hear warm, motivational words that encourage us and make us feel good; but we don’t walk away with any concrete tips or strategies to help us act in a way that’s consistent with our faith.

So we go back to work on Monday and quickly give in to our emotions and our pride. Surrounded by negativity, our feelings of frustration rise. Our dissatisfaction with work increases. We get angry with coworkers and customers and, rather than talk with them about the problem and our feelings, we talk about them to others. We envy those who make more money or have better jobs. We make fun of people who are different from us.

Not very Christ-like behavior, is it?

The stress and unhappiness we feel at work spills over into our home and personal lives squeezing out any joy we try to create.

It can be so easy to give in to temptation and fall under the spell of the Seven Deadly Sins at work. It’s so easy to allow our pride to direct our actions, rather than our Christian faith.

When we allow these emotions to control us, we build a wall between ourselves and God. We don’t reflect Christ’s light. We don’t act consistently with what we say we believe.

But living a life aligned with our beliefs brings us greater peace.

We’re able to take action that moves us closer to what we want – a real, loving relationship with God. Choices become easier because we have a benchmark to compare them with -- they’re either consistent with where we’re going as faithful people or they’re not. Our lives become simpler and less cluttered as we focus on those things that are truly important – God, family, our health, friends…and other things that honestly enrich our lives and our spirit.

Faith From 9 to 5: How to Overcome the Seven Deadly Sins and Live Your Faith at Work helps you see how your faith applies in the office and gives you the strategies you need to apply them.

Each chapter:

• Is dedicated to an individual Deadly Sin
  
• Challenges you to reflect on how that sin trips you up
  
• Gives you practical strategies and easy to apply tips to help you apply your faith while on the job, create a life that’s in sync with your beliefs, and forge a closer walk with God.
  

As you read through the chapters and work through the exercises you’ll gain confidence and courage to consciously alter your actions at work so you’re more in alignment with your faith and beliefs.

"...provocative and reflective! Most of us will see ourselves somewhere in this book."

"A no-brainer if pleasing God is important to you. The…chapters helped me to examine if I am on course in God's eyes and offered sound advice to make better choices for greater fulfillment. Ideally it would be attached to the workplace Employment Manual."

"I couldn't put it down! I really never gave much thought that our "work lives" would be --or should be --so intertwined with our "faith lives." It makes total sense to me now. Yet, as "faithful" as I try to be, I am just as guilty of these "sins" as the next person. THANK YOU for helping me to make the connection and strive to live a more "balanced" life."

"In today’s rapidly changing and often negative work environment, it is sometimes very easy to forget that we are Christians 24x7, especially while we are at work. Winnie hit’s it hard in pointing out that we are over-worked, over-stressed and over-committed to work. However, the answer to a happier, less stressed and more productive life and work experience has been with us the whole time. Thank you for this wakeup call!" J.
