Fruit At Work
Fruit At Work
Overview
“Years ago, Dallas Willard wrote about the need for 'job discipleship.' For anyone who's been wondering what that might look like--wonder no more. Chris Evans has written a thoughtful and concrete guide for that goes far beyond workplace evangelism to workplace redemption. It begins with love, and only gets better."John OrtbergAuthor, The Life You’ve Always WantedPastor, Menlo Park Presbyterian Church "Spiritual fruit in a secular workplace? Chris Evans dares to bring together two worlds that almost never meet, and does so with great success. Fresh and always practical, his wisdom and business experience, along with his many stories, make this a book that will inspire many to follow a more significant path at work."Os Guinness,Author, "The Call" “Many of us struggle to connect our Christian faith with our workplace experience. Chris does a great job of not only challenging us to consider the importance of the Spirit’s fruit in our lives as applicable to our everyday marketplace environment but he has also filled this marvelous book with examples of that very application. For many who read this book it will be a ‘game changer’ in how they view their faith (and fruit!) at work.”Lee TruaxPresident CBMC (Christian Business Mens Connection) “Fruit at Work is a valuable tool which will greatly assist you in having a long term impact in your workplace. Chris Evans shares real life stories, scriptural insights, and practical pointers for Christ to live out His life through you. The Holy Spirit wants to produce His amazing fruit through you as you face the daily challenges of living out your faith.”Kent HumphreysAmbassador FCCI / Christ@Work “This book is exactly the type of practical resource we’ve been looking for to help people live out biblical truth in the workplace in ways that are spiritually fruitful and professionally effective.”Chuck MilianSenior Pastor, Crossroads Fellowship “Chris Evans provides an excellent answer for a question I find to be on the minds of Christian businesspeople everywhere: How does my faith work itself out in the workplace? This book weaves together responsible Scripture reflection, personal testimony, and business acumen. The application of the fruit of the Spirit to these questions was both fresh and brilliant.”JD GreearPastor, the Summit ChurchAuthor, The Gospel (From the foreword) As Christians, how do we integrate the claims of our faith with the demands of our work? How do we take the God we worship on Sunday and bring Him to our job on Monday? How do we function as an ambassador of Christ in a work environment that has as its purpose to produce goods and service for a profit? In answering these questions, Chris Evans provides a thoughtful response from the experience of his own life in seeking to reflect the fruit of the spirit in his workplace. C. William PollardChairman Emeritus, The ServiceMaster Company “As a Christian whose assignment is to serve as a CEO, I need a framework and applied understanding that stretches me in honoring God in the workplace. Neither the world’s finest MBA programs nor its most recognizable CEOs challenge us to do so. Built on God’s word, Fruit at Work challenges us to confront and lead with the full arsenal of the fruits of the spirit (yes, love and gentleness too)!”Rick BrajerPresident and CEO of LiposcienceDescription
