Work, What's It Good For: A Christian Guide to a More Productive Life

In Work, What's It Good For? the author John Albaugh, a former Congressional chief of staff and convicted felon who now helps offenders re-entering society, outlines the crucial role a positive work ethic has in personal transformation and gives a road map to those attempting to start again. The book is a practical one--a workbook with questions and helpful action points. It spells out in simple language the connection between one's attitude toward work and the path to financial and personal success, giving employees a window into the employer's perspective, as well as clear instruction on how to become a more valued employee. Throughout the book, John emphasizes how work and a positive work ethic are central to God's plan for our lives. With illustrations from his own life in starting over himself and as an employer seeking to help restore others, he details the qualities of an excellent worker and how to develop those qualities.
