Discover A Better Way To Make A Living...and A Life
Working Americans today are overworked, financially strained, and dissatisfied with their job and lack of balance in their work and lives. What's worse, they see little hope of their circumstances changing.
That's where Peter Bourke's book, A Better Way to Make a Living…and a Life comes in. Peter, through his writing and speaking delivers what many Christians in the workplace need most today:
- A way to transform their view of work and where it fits in
their lives as Christians by exploring God's view of work as
well as the role of purpose, God's calling, and balance in
your work-life
- A new perspective on today's work environment with both the
threats and the countless opportunities represented by the "new
normal" and how to thrive and utilize your Christian faith in
the workplace
- A roadmap (journey template)
for achieving a "peace" of work that explores our work and life
priorities
- And real-life examples of people who, while still a work in process, have been successful in discovering their God-given talents, and achieving a sense of joy, peace, and balance in their work-life
In short, A Better Way to Make a Living…and a Life provides hope for the majority of the U.S. workforce experiencing job misery or job dissatisfaction.
What sets Peter Bourke's message apart is his unique combination of a strong analysis of the changing U.S. job climate and the resulting impact on working Americans; a research-based look at the abundant opportunities for flexible and life-enhancing work that are available to Americans for the foreseeable future; and a motivational, faith-based approach designed to encourage the misemployed, underemployed, and unemployed to think creatively and respond proactively to transform their work life. Peter gives people the career tools they need to overcome the worries, fears, and other obstacles that stand between them and the life they've always dreamed of. The ultimate goal is to lead readers and audiences to either change their paradigm about today's career or endeavor to find the work that is consistent with their purpose, God-given talents, and passions which allows them to flourish in this new world of work.
