Allegretti, Joseph G.
The Lawyer’s Calling: Christian Faith and Legal Practice
Paulist Press, 997 Macarthur Blvd, Mahwah, New Jersey 07430, 1996
LIBRARY FAITH AT WORK
Lawyers in our day are facing a crisis of meaning. Distrusted by  the public, stressed by overwork and questioning the value of their contribution to society, legal professionals find themselves in a situation where work has lost its connection with deeper beliefs. The crisis they face is essentially  spiritual. How can lawyers bridge the gap between their beliefs and their daily work? Joseph Allegretti maintains that law can be a true vocation - a ‘calling’ from God. He points to ways that lawyers are or can be healers in society, and  he explains how their service to clients resembles a covenant relationship. Lawyers and law students will find his vision of the legal profession to be rich with possibility.

Faith goes to Work: Reflections from the Marketplace
Alban Institute, 1993.
LIBRARY FAITH AT WORK
‘In 1937 J..H.Oldham, a distinguished layperson, wrote to: ‘If the Christian faith is to bring about changes  in the thoughts, habits, and practices of society, he can only do this through being the living, working faith of multitudes of lay men and women conducting the ordinary affairs of life. Christian faith remains inoperative except insofar  as it becomes the principle of action in the lives of those were actually carry on the work of the world and ordering the course of its activities.’ A half a century later, that challenge remains the Church’s most compelling task. Faith  Goes to Work speaks eloquently to it as it sounds Clarion call to see the ordinary structures of life [work, committee, civic involvement, family] as arenas for God’s will on earth is to be accomplished.’ Dr. Anne Rowthorn.

Conger, Jay Alden
Spirit at Work : Discovering the Spirituality in Leadership
Jossey-Bass Inc., 1998.
LIBRARY FAITH AT WORK; LEADERSHIP
In this insightful exploration, Jay Conger and his coauthors examine the role of spirituality  in leadership. Can spirituality offer solutions to some of the increasing demands being made on today’s organizations? As traditional sources of support and connectedness - such as community, church, and extended family - continue to erode,  can the workplace be expected to meet the spiritual needs of its participants? What can leaders do to draw on their organization’s spiritual resources? In Spirit at Work, management experts, an organizational development specialist, two  Jesuit priests, a consultant and trainer to nonprofits, and the director of program evaluation for the Lilly Endowment argue that organizations possess great spiritual potential because they provide individuals with an essential link to a  larger world.

Stevens, R. Paul.
Disciplines of The Hungry Heart - Christian Living Seven Days A Week.
Wheaton, IL: Harold Shaw Publishers, 1993..
LIBRARY FAITH AT WORK;DISCIPLESHIP & DEVOTION
Like David in the Old Testament, we, too, can be  people ‘after God’s own heart.’ Possessing such a heart has little to do with church services, and everything to do with living our lives wholly for God. but how do we, in this hectic generation, balance schedules and needs with the  pursuit of spiritual growth? True spirituality is accessible to each of us as we journey through quite ordinary experiences. If we welcome the challenge, it will sneak into the center of our lives, compelling us to find God in the ‘daily’  rather than the ‘special.’ R. Paul Stevens crafts Disciplines of the Hungry HEart around the ‘seven days’ of creation and our typical week, exploring the spiritual aspects of work, family, relationships with the opposite sex, Christian  fellowship, solitude, time with neighbors and the needy, and a day of rest and reflection. Only when we can find God in the commonplace can we know life’s full meaning and experience the joy of the Spirit.—Publisher’s Annotation.  Please check out book review at www.scruples.org/web/resource/reviews/stevens1.htm.
