Life And Livelihood: A Handbook For Spirituality At Work by Episcopal priest Whitney Wherrett Roberson (Associate Pastor of Grace Cathedral, San Francisco) addresses the necessity for spirituality in the setting where most people spend so much of their waking day -- their place of employment. Providing "nuts and bolts" instructions for running a workplace spiritual group, Pastor Roberson covers everything from forming a workplace group to facilitating a meeting, even to the pint of including detailed agendas for 45-minute meetings exploring such issues as to whether or not work can be sacred; the definition of real wealth, and how language shapes values. Thoroughly "reader friendly", Life And Livelihood is strongly recommended for Christians of all denominations, affiliations, and backgrounds wanting to instill Christian values into their workplace activities and relationships.

Roberson's book helps ordinary people create safe places to ask & wrestle with the hard questions that give meaning to life. Working through these exercises together helps people relate to one another on a deeper level than they normally would in the ordinary course of their work. It's a great book and very easy to read. Roberson's respect for people of other faiths is also encouraging for harmony in the work place.
