Proving Ground

… a terrifically helpful book … It will help you get excited about the workplace where God has called you—and will equip, challenge, and stretch you to apply your faith in Christ to that environment.

-- Andy Bannister (Director of Solas (Centre for Public Christianity), UK)

Reading this book has reminded me that God isn’t just shaping us, proving us, for our own personal benefit, but so we can disciple and mentor others. Grab your own copy and a stack of copies for all those who look to you for leadership, you’ll be glad you did.

-- Wendy Simpson (Chair, Wengeo Group Pty Ltd. Founding Chair, SBE Australia Non–Executive Director, World Vision Australia)

… it is a delight to see … this practical, personal, and passionate book. With short, ‘bite–sized’ chapters, this is the perfect read for the busy worker. 

-- Andrew Laird (Life@Work National Manager, City Bible Forum)

Many Christians struggle with the modern workplace – how to deal with its challenges and temptations, while seeking to serve God faithfully and live out their calling in the world. Proving Ground is true to its title. You will be tested and tried but also buoyed and encouraged by the practical examples and thoughtful questions presented in this helpful book.

-- Ian Harper (Professor of Economics and Dean of Melbourne Business School, Melbourne, Australia)

… one of the most accessible and practical books I have ever read in the space of Christian faith at work. Using a Biblical context, Graham offers actionable advice covering everything from motives to methods. No matter your line of work, this book will work wonders for you in bridging theory and practice for the faith active working Christian.

-- Chuck Proudfit (President, At Work on Purpose, Cincinnati, Ohio, USA)

Graham brings together a thoughtful Christian perspective and a knowledgeable business perspective to important issues of faith and work.

… will be so helpful for Christian men and women who … may struggle with the challenge and expectation that their faith ought to be relevant and life giving for the people they work with and for themselves as they endeavour to make work a place where they can naturally express their deepest sense of calling and identity. 

-- George Savvides (Career CEO, former Chairman World Vision Australia )

Is there significance in my work? The answers are in these pages! Proving Ground identifies our biblical and unique value in our everyday living, breathing, working life … Every Christian in the marketplace needs to read this book – it will change us, our work places and our world!
