""This book offers profound reflections on integrating faith and work. Insightful and deeply grounded, it inspires readers to deeper discipleship and spiritual growth by seeing God in our daily work. A valuable resource for all who seek to live faithfully and fruitfully in their vocation."" --Jean Lee, Principal and Professor of Theology, Canadian Chinese School of Theology Toronto ""Our involvement in the marketplace and in all that we seek to do in daily life, needs an inspirational and a sustaining center. And this global book gives us a rich tapestry of ancient and contemporary Christian spiritual resources and perspectives. It provides a vision of how to live in the way of Christ, in the wisdom of the Spirit, to the glory of God, and for human flourishing in our places of work and other activities. Here is a spiritual wisdom sculpted out of experience and fidelity. Here are spiritual practices tested in challenging workplaces. Here is a vision of life that pulsates with a love of God's kingdom ways. Here is the heartbeat of what it means to live wholly for God and for the neighbor. And here--through the many voices in this book--is a passion for transforming lives, workplaces, and our institutions."" --Charles Ringma, Emeritus Professor, Regent College ""Working Blessedly Forever: Volume 3 offers a rare and invigorating addition to marketplace theology--one that goes beyond mere integration to focus on formation. Anchored in voices from around the world and in profound spiritual wisdom, it reimagines the workplace as sacred ground where God molds the soul. This book doesn't just inform; it calls for transformation. An essential read for every believer seeking depth in daily work."" --Willy Kotiuga, Chair, Board of Regents, Bakke Graduate University
