Celebrating unsung heroes: more books for Labor Day

Last updated on: September 6, 2015 at 8:31 pm By Byron Borger

As we are heading into the Labor Day weekend, some of us will have some time off. Restaurant workers, preachers, many health care providers, law enforcement personnel, those who work in the media, and those in retail may have to work extra hours this weekend to commemorate the significance of their labor. And those of us whose wages are on the lower end can’t afford to decline any overtime we might be offered. Some people romanticize bookstore work, but our... Read more

Books on vocation, calling, work, and jobs. And we mean LOTS of books.

Last updated on: April 14, 2015 at 2:57 pm By Byron Borger

This post originally appeared at the blog Booknotes. As we were leading up to Labor Day weekend, I was thrilled to know that the High Calling blog offered resources for use during this season since it is a natural time for church folk to teach, honor, and celebrate ordinary Christians and their calling into jobs. We are sent into all manner of work places, and we can serve God and neighbor there. Our bookstore is known for trying to affirm... Read more

Best Books for Business: Wendell Berry’s Collected Poems

Last updated on: September 1, 2015 at 2:14 pm By The High Calling

By Seth Haines; part of a series at TheHighCalling.org called “Best Books for Business.” Stay tuned for more! In the late nineties, I was force-fed a steady diet of business books by my business school professors. “Thinking like a businessman,” they said, “requires reading like a businessman.” And so, extracurricular texts were foisted upon me, and book after book from my professors’ personal stacks made their way to my bedside table. I breezed through The Richest Man in Babylon and... Read more

Faith & Work in the Academy – The Outrageous Idea of the Missional Professor

Last updated on: August 20, 2015 at 3:20 pm By Mikel Del Rosario

The Outrageous Idea of the Missional Professor In this installment of my Fall series featuring resources on Faith, Work and Economics, I recommend The Outrageous Idea of the Missional Professor by Paul M. Gould. In this book, Gould shares the idea that God wants to use Christian professors as professors to reach colleagues, administrators and students in colleges and universities, transform society and meet the world’s needs through their work. He demonstrates that God’s mission to redeem and restore a... Read more

Putting Charity Out of Business? The Philanthropic Revolution by Jeremy Beer

Last updated on: August 19, 2015 at 4:38 pm By Guest Contributor

By Fred Smith As president of The Gathering—a community of individuals, families, and private foundations making financial gifts to Christian ministries around the world—for some time now, I often wonder if philanthropy is one of those words that has either lost its traditional definition (love of mankind) or never should have been used to describe giving in the first place. In fact I wonder if our use of “love of mankind” actually is possible or even desirable. Yes, there are... Read more

Best Books for Business: What We Hope for When We Read

Last updated on: August 10, 2015 at 10:43 am By The High Calling

By Charity Singleton Craig; part of a series at TheHighCalling.org called “Best Books for Business.” Stay tuned for more! I’ll admit: I don’t read a lot of “business” books. Maybe it’s because business books, like some hard-hitting business people I know, seem a little too direct, a little too goal-driven, a little too bottom line for me. Not that I mind if other people know where their cheese is and are moving toward the tipping point to become even more... Read more

How can colleges help students grapple with vocation? The Purposeful Graduate by Tim Clydesdale

Last updated on: August 5, 2015 at 2:34 pm By Mission:Work

Programs that engage college students with questions of meaning and vocation help form them into resolute and resilient citizen-leaders, says the author of “The Purposeful Graduate: Why Colleges Must Talk to Students About Vocation.” This was first published in Faith & Leadership. In 1999, Lilly Endowment Inc. launched an ambitious project funding programs to engage students in questions of meaning, purpose and vocation at independent colleges and universities across the country. When sociologist Tim Clydesdale set about to study... Read more

The Political Disciple: A Theology of Public Life By Vincent Bacote

Last updated on: August 4, 2015 at 4:19 pm By Byron Borger

It was a great privilege to publish a special summer book list for the Center for Public Justice, the nonpartisan, always thoughtful, Washington DC-based, Christian political think-tank. It was a diverse list and included something for almost anyone interested in considering the nature of our public life; it was written with the CPJ audience in mind, but I think most BookNotes readers would like browsing through it. (Click here, to see my 10 short reviews, but don’t forget to come... Read more

By Laura Lynn Brown; part of a series at TheHighCalling.org called “Best Books for Business.” Stay tuned for more! When I gave Dad a tour of my workplace, we were maybe five steps into the newsroom when he took in our paper-piled desks and file-filled boxes and asked, “Does OSHA ever visit here?” Dad worked at an an industrial bakery — hot, heavy, noisy work, turning out thousands of loaves of bread every day. It was bread that put bread on our table. His formal... Read more
