  <default-description>Where do you go to grow spiritually? A church? A monastery? India? Tibet? What about the heart of high-tech corporate multinationalism?

Mystic Microsoft demonstrates that with sincerity and self-offering, God can (and will) guide one&#8217;s inner growth in any setting, not just formal religious channels. Here, one of Microsoft&#8217;s most visible technology experts during its major growth years relates how his career circumstances were the vehicle through which he was inwardly transformed. With insight, wit, and colorful anecdotes about life at Microsoft, Kraig Brockschmidt shows how one&#8217;s career, such as his experience writing the Windows Calculator and his book, Inside OLE 2, are tremendous opportunities for spiritual growth. &#8220;[At Microsoft] I learned and experienced exactly what you would expect [in] a monastery or ashram...&#8221;

Mystic Microsoft offers hope to those who feel that their careers are at odds with their inner aspirations and those who seek to find a deeper meaning in their worldly responsibilities.

    <body><![CDATA[It's been a long time since a book made me weep. This one did. It's about how God used Kraig's years at Microsoft to bring about spiritual transformation in him.
