Called to be Light in the Workplace - A Workbook is the revised and expanded version of the second book (2003) in this series. This workbook challenges its readers to be 'light' on their respective job(s) in each of the three phases of career progression: (1) Entry-level (trainee or intern), (2) journey-man level (middle manager), and (3) senior level (executive or mentor). God's Word ministers about how to encourage others at work and influence positive change in the midst of dysfunctional places of employment. Through the lives of Jesus, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Evangelist Billy Graham, Dr. Ben Carson, and many other recognizable and unrecognizable names, excellence in their jobs has raised the level of productivity of others. It is systematically divided into three parts, with three chapters each. Supported by the Scriptures throughout, the central theme of each chapter focuses on specific ways to let our 'light' shine and to Give God the Glory! while at work each day. As with all books in the Give God the Glory! series, it concludes with a family prayer to reinforce the contents within the books' nine chapters. Readers are encouraged to refer to the Give God the Glory! series as collections of prayers, daily prayer books, and prayer books.
Prayer shall change our lives for the better as we learn how to apply God's Word to our everyday lives. It can be used as a daily prayer book to learn why and how do I pray.
Industry Reviews
Many author s written about surviving and thriving in the workplace. There have also been many books written on being a Christian light. However, few if any books have effectively integrated these two important topics into an inspiring and very useful book. Mr. Johnson is successful in this endeavor. His new work is very meaningful in a challenging and chaotic work environment. He challenges employees to be Christian lights on their respective jobs. Through a comprehensive analysis of the Bible and the three phases of career progression, Mr. Johnson reminds employees that God is in the workplace. Diane Floyd Sutton, President, Sutton Enterprises and Author of Increasing the Spirit and Effectiveness of People in the Workplace, Washington, DC Kevin's knowledge of the Lord and writing are incomparable to anyone I've met in the industry plus his spirit is so warm and open he is a true servant of the Lord. Very inspiring! Pam Perry, President, American Christian Writers, Detroit chapter The principle purpose God made man for His glory! As you think of that concept, how much do we really understand what the glory of God is all about? How does the glory of God relate to our everyday life? Kevin Johnson has presented to us how we can glorify God not only in church but also in the workplace. It is of vital importance that we grasp this principle that has been presented for us in Kevin's intriguing work called, Give God the Glory! May this be the pursuit of all of us as we think of the very purpose God had for us as He placed us on planet Earth. Joe Jordan, Executive Director, Word of Life Fellowship, Incorporated, Schroon Lake, New York You're in a store thinking about buying this book. You ask yourself two logical questions: Is it worth spending $15 to read what this man has to say about being a Christian in the workplace? Will I feel that I received my money's worth when I finish this book? The answer is a resounding YES! Kevin Johnson has taken the Word of God, blended it with years of experience in government and corporations, seasoned it with helpful quotations, examples and resources, and baked it in the fire of the Holy Spirit to cook up a very relevant book. I believe that, in God s economy, the $15 you choose to invest in Give God the Glory: Called to be LIGHT in the Workplace can deliver a profoundly positive and eternal return-on-investment. - Drew Crandall, President, Northeast Christians at Work, Vernon, Connecticut"
