This sounds like an interesting read for those entering/pivoting in the workforce during the pandemic. Christian readers looking to balance faith, family, and career will likely be able to discover some useful nuggets from this one.

This sounds like an awesome self-help book! I admire the author for being bold and including Christian values with careers. I am no longer in need of a book about how to be successful, but if I was I would grab this one! Thanks for another excellent review!

As a Christian, I have discovered that work truly is a gift from God . Despite it being seen as a curse, when we enjoy our work and we are forced to stop there is a certain emptyness. This feeling is much stronger to those who are introverted and enjoy outdoor related jobs, and has been in many due to the pandemic.I would love to read how his experience during the epidemic,as a Christian and avid worker,has impacted his life, and the revelations he has seen, on career choices and work.

I tend to stay away from non-fiction books with religious themes in them. So, I think I'll probably give this one a pass. However, I liked one point that was mentioned in the review - balancing family and career, which I think is something very important and which can be really hard to do.
Thank you for the review.

It seems a good book about the direction to the one who wants to do something and do better in their careers. I wished it has been written for the readers and not majorly focused on Christianity. You wrote a great review!

This book is very timely given the pandemic and the problems of losing jobs and businesses. The book's emphasis is on the connection between faith and career based on the biblical principles forms the core of the book. After sampling the book and reading this well written review, I will read it soon.

It is true that the pandemic has changed so much about day-to-day life, especially in regards to career and the workforce. However, the topics of this book do not appeal to me, so I will be skipping this one. Thank you for the thorough review.

I'd like it more if faith wasn't such a fundamental part of the book. It's target demographic is very obvious, but it's 50/50 on whether I'd read it. There are lots of books on careers and they're not all so faithful to their religions.

This book contains some serious advice about career start. What I like about this book is writers believe in GOD and how he is advising readers to have faith in GOD. This can be a good guide for those who are re-starting their career after the pandemic.

Thanks for this review. It would be great to know how to use our God-given gifts to serve the Lord while working and serving others. I wonder how what Jesus did for us (the Good News) comes into play in this book.
