Can Christianity really work in both life and business today?
I am a good Christian, but…
…it’s just business.
…I have a family to take care of.
…I didn’t do anything illegal.
Trying to match the directives of the Bible with the reality of living in modern society can make us feel like failures in faith. Jesus sets a pretty high standard to start with. Then popular culture offers us excuses that everything we do is OK as long as we go to church on Sunday and ask for forgiveness. There’s not much reward for scriptural values like love, compassion, and decency.
It doesn’t have to be that way.
Christianity at Work is a study guide that offers a roadmap for succeeding in life and in business by following the same values in church, at home, and at work. The study guide’s six lessons pair scripture with the real-world business experiences of Sal and Cindy Rubino, restaurant owners who reinvented themselves as more faithful followers of Christ after business failures that threatened to tear their family apart. The result, documented in the book Small Business, Big Heart: How One Family Redefined the Bottom Line, changed their lives. It’s a story of achieving a family-saving work/life balance as well as business success.
Christianity at Work offers a practical, proven lesson for how we can follow the scriptural directive “to walk humbly with your God.”
We hear too little these days about the positive ways in which regular people, acting in faith, can change the world for good. Paul Wesslund's elegant account of how Sal and Cindy Rubino changed their corner of the world is inspiring, encouraging, and at times deeply moving. Accompanied by the study guide co-written by Wesslund with Susan Mink, here is the basis for a compelling adult Christian education curriculum for use in local congregations. -- Dr. Jane Donovan, Religious Studies Program, West Virginia University
"Paul Wesslund’s book and study guide deliver an inspiring journey of faith, resilience, and transformation. Through real-life experiences, it reveals how faith can shape both home and workplace in powerful, life-giving ways. A compelling testament to hope and the impact of belief in everyday life.” -- Rev. Darren Brandon, Senior Pastor St. Paul UMC, Conference Secretary KY Annual Conference
