Good work : how blue collar business can change lives, communities, and the world / Dave Hataj.
"What can blue-collar business teach us all about work and faith? The faith and work conversation is alive and well, but most resources focus on white-collar jobs and neglect the majority of the workforce. When pastor Dave Hataj realized he needed to go home and take over the family gear shop, he didn't really expect it to become a spiritually transformative season of his life. Yet as he began to think about what it meant to be a Christian in business, he discovered just how much our work matters to God and how blue-collar business really can change people, communities, and even the world. Drawing on the stories of his business, Edgerton Gears, Dave teaches you how to cultivate true inner goodness (righteousness), meaning, and mission at work-no matter what you do. Your workplace can and should be a place of significance. Find out how today"-- Provided by publisher.
