Description:
Called
to be Light in
the Workplace is the second book
in this series of nine. This book challenges its readers to be
‘light’ on their
respective job(s) in each of the three phases of career progression:
(1) Entry-level
(trainee or intern), (2) journey-man level (middle manager), and (3)
senior
level (executive or mentor). God’s Word
ministers about how to encourage
others at work and influence positive change in the midst of
dysfunctional
places of employment. Through the lives of Jesus, Dr. Martin Luther
King, Jr.,
Evangelist Billy Graham, Dr. Ben Carson, and many other recognizable
and unrecognizable
names, excellence in their jobs has raised the level of productivity of
others.
It is systematically divided into three parts, with three chapters
each.
Supported by the Scriptures throughout, the central theme of each
chapter
focuses on specific ways to let our ‘light’ shine
and to Give God the Glory! while at
work everyday. How great is God? To
know how great God is, watch Him at work on our respective jobs.
As
with all books in the Give God the Glory!
series, it concludes with a family prayer to reinforce the contents
within the
books’ nine chapters. Readers
are
encouraged to refer to the Give
God the Glory! series as
collections of prayers, daily prayer books, and prayer books. Prayer shall change our
lives for the better
as we learn how to apply God’s Word to our everyday lives. It can be used as a daily
prayer book to
learn why and how do I pray.

Johnson recommends this book to men and women who seek Biblical
guidance and
coaching on workplace issues of concern at all levels in their career. In parallel with this
book, it is suggested
that the companion devotional, Let Your
Light So Shine, add deeper meaning to what Jesus taught about
the
importance of our individual and collective “light.”

"Give
God the Glory! Called to be LIGHT
in the Workplace is a nice blend of spiritual and practical wisdom
about being the best ambassador for Christ in the workplace. I especially like the
servant leader section and the material about being an effective
communicator. Readers
will be stirred to press on toward the mark to win the prize (i.e.
Christ) for which are call called heavenward. Mr.
Johnson challenges our
complacency and encourages us to maintain a “new wineskin
heart” into which our Lord can pour much of the
“new wine” that is found in this
book.”

“In my
professional role as editor, book
coach, and author of five of my own books, I am immensely impressed
with Brother Kevin Johnson’s latest work,
Give God the Glory! Called to be Light
in the Workplace. Not
only is the content of the book especially helpful to me as a leader
who has mentored many women over the past 25 years, but the structure
of the book is outstanding. The
quotes, graphics and illustrations are excellent. Above
all, I appreciate to that
which he has presented as possible solutions to our day-to-day
challenges in the workplace. Taking
one of his personal quotes from the book, let me say this:
‘Excellence never happens by accident. We
have to make it
happen.’ Kevin
has made it happen with his latest educational tool.
It needs to be on every
employer’s shelf.”

“Many
author’s written about
surviving and thriving in the workplace. There
have also been many books
written on being a Christian light. However,
few if any books have
effectively integrated these two important topics into an inspiring and
very useful book. Mr.
Johnson is successful in this endeavor. His
new work is very meaningful in
a challenging and chaotic work environment. He
challenges employees to be
Christian lights on their respective jobs. Through
a comprehensive analysis
of the Bible and the three phases of career progression, Mr. Johnson
reminds employees that God is in the workplace.”

“Kevin’s
knowledge of the Lord
and writing are incomparable to anyone I’ve met in the
industry plus his spirit is so warm and open – he is a true
servant of the Lord. Very
inspiring!”

American Christian Writers, Detroit chapter
The principle
purpose – God made man for
His glory! As you
think of that concept, how much do we really understand what the glory
of God is all about? How
does the glory of God relate to our everyday life?
“Kevin
Johnson has presented to us how we
can glorify God not only in church but also in the workplace. It is of vital importance
that we grasp this principle that has been presented for us in
Kevin’s intriguing work called, “Give God the
Glory!” May
this be the pursuit of all of us as we think of the very purpose God
had for us as He placed us on planet Earth.”

“You’re
in a store thinking
about buying this book. You
ask yourself two logical questions: ‘Is it worth spending $15
to read what this man has to say about being a Christian in the
workplace? Will I
feel that I received my money’s worth when I finish this
book?’ The
answer is a resounding YES! Kevin Johnson has taken the Word of God,
blended it with years of experience in government and corporations,
seasoned it with helpful quotations, examples and resources, and baked
it in the fire of the Holy Spirit to cook up a very relevant book. I believe that, in
God’s economy, the $15 you choose to invest in Give
God the Glory: Called to be LIGHT in the Workplace can
deliver a profoundly positive and eternal
return-on-investment.”
