Book of the Week: Taking Your Soul to Work

Dorchester County's Seago Library branch manager Rebecca Westfall recommends Taking Your Soul to Work: Overcoming the Nine Deadly Sins of the Workplace for this week's read.

This easy-to-read book addresses the pitfalls of “nine deadly sins of the workplace.”

Co-authors R. Paul Stevens and Alvin Ung conduct an ongoing conversation throughout the book about the role of spirituality in the workplace. They say in the introduction, “Like you, we long to take our souls to work, to be attentive to God’s presence in the midst of a busy and intense work life, and to be gradually transformed into loving and holy persons while we work. These were our personal aspirations …"

After looking at the "deadly" sins, Stevens and Ang examine the nine characteristics of "the fruit of the Spirit," re-thinking how each of these can serve as antidotes to the nine sins.
