Work of Influence: Principles for Professionals from the Book of Daniel

Your work matters. It matters because it has intrinsic value in and of itself. It matters because the integration of faith and work presents a powerful witness of transformation in your life. Through that integration, we take part in God's mission for his people so that we can influence unreached people for the Gospel.

That's the message David Cross offers in Work of Influence, a biblical commentary like no other-a commentary for professionals. The twenty-five principles he identifies guide the reader into an engaging integration of work, faith, and witness for finishing the Great Commission-whether that work is at home in the family business of generations or in borders beyond.

Whatever your work, this book will guide you to view your contribution as a work of influence and make an impact for eternity.
