Reviews

[Esther · Rating 5 out of 5]

Ask me, and I'll tell you this is a good book. For every Christian or person hoping or praying to make a clear difference and honor God in their workplace, "Integrity at Work" will set them on the path using the ETHICS compass:

E- examine all facts
T- seek the truth
H- hesitate
I- identify the greater good
C- creative alternatives
S- stand for God

It is important to know the mind of God regarding every situation. Work scenarios and biblical examples used stressed the importance of prayer in finding alternatives to an issue (especially in gray areas) hence, one should employ prayer not only for work but their life.
