More Than a Job

Packed with advice and assurance, this book challenges the traditional 9-5 work slot, and proposes that we can create a portfolio lifestyle which will enable us to combine a number of roles, types of work and witness.

So many people today are seeking to find ways in which they can combine their work life with their ministry. They want to be spending their time working in ways that benefit others and bring glory to God. More than a Job challenges the traditional view of work by exploring the changes in society and organisations that are prompting people to consider a more flexible working life.
