As an investment banker in the City of London, Ken Costa has read "The Financial Times" and "The Bible" almost every day for thirty years. But there is a widespread view that God and business just do not mix. The competitive, cut throat demands of the marketplace are seen as the obvious enemy of Christian compassion and love. To Ken Costa, the God who created and sustains the world is also the God of the workplace.

Report from the William Temple Foundation about Spiritual and Religious capital
An inspirational new book on how to achieve sustainable capitalism and a more fulfilled life by the author of SQ (Spiritual Intelligence) and The Quantum Self.
This PDF from the Diocese of Hereford is a useful course for Christians at work: "The workplace is where many of us spend much of our time and it is often where people who don't know Jesus can be found, it is an ideal place for ‘appropriate' mission, ministry and witness. Thus our Christians at work need our support, encouragement and prayers."
This highly practical book looks at how we can make the most of the time we spend at work. It helps us to see our jobs, our co-workers and our bosses the way God sees them.
The overall aims of this course are to explore our understanding of the Kingdom of God and what it means for our faith and our lives.
As Christians our focus is set on working in partnership with God in his kingdom building work. What does that mean for the places where we live and work? What are the signs of the kingdom breaking in? How should we relate God's kingdom vision with the reality we see before us in the world? How do we live out our faith and hope with integrity?
The course should be delivered in groups of up to 12 with a facilitator who is used to running open and participative structured group discussions.
If you want to make a difference in the world, then LICC is there to help you. They work to equip Christians to engage biblically and relevantly with the issues they face, including Work, Capitalism, Youth Culture, Media and Communication - helping you to make a difference, where you are.
The authors map the terrain including the personal journey, the corporate journey, and companions along the way. The book also includes a comprehensive chapter of resources, some interesting appendices, and extensive set of references.

- Work in a godly way

Many of us spend most of our waking hours involved in work or activities that are not directly church related, yet they are an important part of our discipleship journey and experience. This course is an opportunity to value, share and explore the work and activities we are engaged in, and to reflect on the Christian perspective on work in the Gospel message
