Proving Ground
40 Reflections on Growing Faith at Work
Graham Hooper
Wisdom for every working day
Shows value of all types of work
Short, easy to read, practical chapters
The Bible shows us how testing experiences are common to every Christian and are part of God’s good work in making us the people he wants us to be. As we spend so much of our time working, (whether in the home, in voluntary work, study or in a paid job), our work, like every part of our life, provides opportunities to prove for ourselves that God is real and at work in his world for good.

Reading this book has reminded me that God isn’t just shaping us, proving us, for our own personal benefit, but so we can disciple and mentor others. Grab your own copy and a stack of copies for all those who look to you for leadership, you’ll be glad you did.

… will be so helpful for Christian men and women who … may struggle with the challenge and expectation that their faith ought to be relevant and life giving for the people they work with and for themselves as they endeavour to make work a place where they can naturally express their deepest sense of calling and identity.
