Five Mere Christians shows readers how to glorify God in their work by following the examples of five notable believers who succeeded in their secular occupations without compromising their faith. If you're like most Christians, you want to glorify God in all you do--including your work. Whether you are a teacher, a tech worker, or a tax preparer, you want to be "salt and light" to those you work with and serve, but what does that practically look like in the secular workplace?
By showing, not telling, Five Mere Christians offers you five concise and compelling biographies of Christ followers who glorified God in their jobs and found fulfillment:
Fred Rogers--the creator of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood who treated his job as a "priestly" duty and lived at a pace that allowed him to extend love to others.
Fannie Lou Hamer--the civil rights activist who worked for justice without hating the unjust.
Ole Kirk Christiansen--the founder of LEGO who embraced playful work and committed himself to the highest standards of his craft.
Hannah More--the poet largely credited for abolishing slavery throughout the British Empire who worked to change the world through culture, not politics.
C.S. Lewis--the author of The Chronicles of Narnia and Mere Christianity who found ultimate joy in Christ and not in his work.
These mere Christians will show you how to effectively live out your faith in whatever God has called you to do.
