Workship

“The Hebrew root word for ‘work’ is also the root word for ‘service’, particularly service to God in worship. By combining the two English words, ‘work’ and ‘worship’, I hope to challenge people to integrate their faith and work. Work does not just refer to what is done in paid employment. I believe God sees work as any purposeful activity requiring focus and effort. It could be housework, schoolwork, caring for children or parents, study, paid work, voluntary work, etc.” — Kara Martin In her book, Kara explores the biblical view of work, provides six spiritual disciplines to integrate faith and work, shares practical wisdom on how to make a difference in the workplace, and offers ideas to help churches better equip their congregations to live out their faith at work.

The workplace has been the catalyst for bringing thousands of people around the world to worship Jesus. Regular trained evangelists and missionaries dominated missions for centuries. Their Christ-like service has penetrated 75% of the world. However, the remaining 25% are mostly beyond the reach of traditional missionary strategies and methods. The opportunities to shine His light into the darkest places have never been greater. The marketplace and the workplace require our work and worship-workship-to finish His assignment of reaching all peoples. We need to recalibrate.

Building on two decades of original research into workplace issues and friendship patterns, sociologist and consultant Dr. Jan Yager offers insights into how to succeed by mastering workplace relationships. Based on an international survey of 400 men and women and over 100 interviews, Yager discovered a relationship unique to the workplace and business. She calls it a workship--more connected than an acquaintance but not as intimate as a friend. Workships, especially positive ones, help work to be more productive and more fun. Yager is also the author of Business Protocol, When Friendship Hurts, and Friendshifts, translated into 10 languages, among other titles. Best-selling author Don Gabor, praising Yager's book, writes: "Who's That Sitting at My Desk? is the best researched and most useful book on getting along with friends and foes at work that I've ever read. Don't go to work without it!" Bibliography, resources, and index.
