God on Monday: Reflections on Christians Work, by Benny Tabalujan, Klesis
Institute (Melbourne) and Comm/Asia (Singapore), 2005.
Intelligent church-members complain that preachers often/mostly answer
questions people aren't asking...
Church-members with a 'secular' vocation often complain that most sermons
have nothing much to do with their daily work. (I once heard a highly
respected 60-ish medico say he can't remember any sermon in forty years
which helped him become a more 'Christian' or 'better' surgeon).
So we need something written by a person-in-the-workplace about Christianity
and work, right?
Here it is.
Dr Tabalujan has a PhD in law (University of Melbourne) and is a lawyer,
business consultant, conference-speaker, and university lecturer, among
other vocations. He is a highly committed, practising Christian, and - rare
breed - very well read in terms of modern and classical Christian
literature, especially in the area of practising the Faith in the real
world.
Here are some excellent chapters on Sabbath/rest, balancing work and other
life-commitments, money-matters, ethics ('why good people do bad things at
work'), 'Is there a perfect job for me?', a Christian approach to
competition and ambition, etc.

"If only it were so simple! If only there were evil people somewhere
insidiously committing evil deeds and it were necessary to separate them
from the rest of us and destroy them. But the line dividing good and evil
cuts through the heart of every human being. And who is willing to destroy
a piece of his own heart?" Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
