I believe that no study on the Christian and work would be complete without acknowledgement of the definitive work on the topic by Doug Sherman and William Hendrick titled, "Your Work Matters to God" (published by NavPress in 1987). This resource not only was a critical part in the preparation of this material, but is still the most comprehensive source on the topic of the Christian in the marketplace.
