In recent years, many books have been written about the rise of spirituality in the workplace. While this trend is important to understand, there has been, to date, no “how to” guide for the corporate chaplain. This 496 page softcover text, published in 2006, exists to fill the procedural and information gap for workplace ministry. It has been in development for more than ten years. The content found on these pages is a culmination of more than 50 years of workplace experience, 26 years of higher level education, and nearly 30 years of ministry experience. As a corporate chaplain, what would you do when someone is considering the life and death decision of euthanasia? How about the stress of blended families? Knowing when to present the life-changing Good News of Jesus Christ can be a sensitive matter. Do you know how to gain permission to share effectively? Having faced these, and many other issues found in workplace ministry, the authors have compiled the most comprehensive body of work on this subject to date. This text explores the basics of corporate chaplaincy, covers in depth the practical matters of ministry in the workplace, and allows application of the fundamentals of effective service and evangelism through case studies and discussion questions. Pertinent topics include, but are not limited to, confidentiality, suicide, addiction, legal matters, and relationship issues. Digest the information found in these pages for effectiveness in building bridges between the workplace and Christ, the hope of glory. Keep this book on hand as a reference for the many opportunities of ministry in the greatest mission field on earth: the workplace.
