Thank God it's Monday

Thank God it's Monday is a must read for:

(a) Christians who are office workers or for
(b) pastors of churches who want to support the workplace ministry of their congregation members.

The book sees the strategic value for the Christian cause of supporting Christian ministry at work. It is full of Biblical wisdom and peppered with many real life examples and case studies. It also offers some very useful analysis and planning tools to help put the principles of the book into practice.

Despite being last updated in 2001 this book is still highly relevant to the modern corporate office environment with all it's stress and uncertainty.

Here is a summary of what each chapter is about (I've deciphered Mark Greene's cryptic chapter headings).

1. Why workplace ministry is so important.
2. What the Bible says about work and rest.
3. The secrets of witnessing: relationships, serving, boldness.
4. Witness through life and words.
5. A ministry plan for work.
6. Work / life balance.
7. Getting support for ministry at work.
8. Case study of leading someone at work to Christ.
9. The importance of working hard and well.
10. Relating to the boss.
11. Examining our attitudes to our boss.
12. Coping with stress / anxiety at work.
13. Truth / honesty at work.
14. Case studies / moral dilemmas.
15. How to be a good boss.

Thank God it's Monday would be a good book to discuss a chapter or two at a time with someone else or in a group of workers. I highly recommend it.
