This was an amazing book about leaving your comfort zones and truly seeking where God wants you to be, living the abundant life He has planned for you. The 13 steps are well defined, and are clearly explained, so that people will not be tempted to follow their own desires. Some of the steps include praying, meditating on Scripture, and truly evaluating the talents that God has given you, so that you will be using them in the workplace, as well as other areas of your life.
Throughout the book are Reflections and Questions, to help make it more personal to you, as you seek to see where the next step may lead you. The author has you evaluate your own spiritual life, seeking out a church where you will also use the talents God has given. He then directs you to seek out opportunities that may expound more on your talents and gifts, and see which ones truly encompass where you should seek to be in the work field.
He encourages you to seek out encouragers, to help you along, and also to ask among friends and family, to see what they believe are your strengths that you may not even be aware of. He then encourages really seeking through prayer, to see if God is directing your path, and if you believe He is, to then step out in faith. Obviously, that is never easy, so the author then directs a chapter to leap of faith fears.
So as to encourage everyone, not just those in the workplace, the end of the book includes help for at home parents, students, retirees, volunteers, and clergy. If nothing else, following the outline in this book will bring you closer to God, so you are seeking His will for you. There is also a journal included in the end for thoughts.
I was pleasantly surprised, as an at home mom, to read this book and be blessed by the author's insights. I endorse it heartily, and have already purchased a copy for a friend who mentioned that she felt like she needed a change in her work life.
