About the Author:
RICHARD MALONE is an executive in the publishing industry. He lives in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, and was unemployed for several months in 2001.
From Publishers Weekly:
With layoffs and "downsizing" becoming a corporate reality for many workers, this niche devotional serves the growing population of Christians who find themselves "in between" jobs or careers. This is not a devotional for those seeking to make their jobs more spiritual, but for those seeking jobs; it addresses some of the feelings of hopelessness and panic that characterize periods of unemployment. Malone, now a v-p in the book distribution business, knows firsthand the bewilderment and identity loss of a sudden layoff, and he draws from that experience in writing these 120 daily meditations. Each meditation is based on a short passage from the Bible; the psalms of lament, of course, loom large here, and there's a fair amount of material from Job, Lamentations and the sufferings of Paul. Malone organizes the devotions in a rough chronological progression, dealing with the initial shock of a job loss, feelings of rejection and, finally, the courage and persistence needed to find another position.
