Women, Faith, and Work: How Ten Successful Professionals Blend Belief and Business

I'm on the board of Christian Business Leaders (http://www.cblw.org) and we have an extensive library of Christian business-related books. Women, Faith and Work is one of the best books we have for women. It is written by the Life@Work company, which is highly respectable. The women interviwed for the book clearly have close relationships with Christ, their famlies and co-workers. They are excellent examples of what it means to have faith in Christ during hard times and giving Him credit in successful times. The women share their failures and successes leaving no stones unturned. I also recommend the companion book The Fourth Frontier. It really is a companion book for Christian men.

We rarely get the chance to get close to someone who has a significant position in business or a profession. Even if we hear that she is a Christian, we often have to watch from afar to see how she works out her faith in the workplace. Lois Flowers has bridged that gap by providing ten intimate portraits of women who have meshed faith and business practice. These are honest women who let us know where they have failed and where they have struggled, but who hold out the example that our jobs can be platforms for the glory of God--even high-stakes jobs where the cross is more apt to be an offense to non-believers.

Women, Faith and Work takes you into the lives of ten remarkable women. Each one being very different from the rest. The tie that binds these women is their unfaltering faith and service to our Creator. No matter the routine of their day, each manages to have their priorities in order: God, family, then work. This book serves as an inspiration to women who struggle to meet society's expectations of the successful businesswoman, or even the successful mom. Each woman interviewed glorifies God through her work. They prove that putting our lives into the right perspective, which is God's perspective, serves as the best tool for success. Their examples make it evident that when we submit to His will for our lives, we experience our success--the success He has destined for our earthly lives. These women show us how to give God the credit for our blessings and, in that, witness to others. This book is a must-read for any woman with a desire to find the perfect plan for her life...God's plan.

It's about time that the women in the marketplace are recognized. This book is great. It simply tells the stories of ten different women in all kinds of careers-from a housewife to a Hollywood Producer to a CEO. The writing style is silky smooth and the storytelling keeps you engaged. Great read!
