I agree with Tim Keller, “I read because I’m desperate.” While reading by itself will not make one a better leader or follower, reading well will improve both. Yet, even then, one must take the knowledge and allow it to change his/her life. Read purposefully.

Book: "God in Work" by Christian Schumacher
I'll update the notes later, but this is a very good book about bringing Biblical principles into the workplace in such a way that they literally make a diffence in a person's day-to-day job.
Explanations later, but some of this is along the lines of Bakke's Joy at Work. And like Bakke, this has a lot of hands-on experience over many years of practice.
This book is part of the reading in my Theology of Work studies.

Comments later, but part of what I'm using to keep my thoughts critical and purposeful.

Book: "Annointed for Business" by Ed Silvosos
I've been slowly rereading and taking more notes since my orignal read in Oct 2007.
From the Introduction:
The marketplace.....is to a metropolis what the heart is to the human body. Yet millions of men and women who have been called to ministry in the marketplace feel like second-class citizens when compared to those who serve in a churhc or missionary context, and they often fail to rise to their God-appointed position. It is time to give marketplace people their rightful validation as full-fledged ministers, because the last revival - the one prophsied by Joel and quoted by Peter in Acts 2:17-21 - will take place all over the city and not just inside a church building.
This book is part of the reading in my Theology of Work studies.
