Faith in Leadership: How Leaders Live Out Their Faith in Their Work--And Why It Matters

. Jossey-Bass, $24 (256pp) ISBN 978-0-7879-4586-2

""This book raises a potentially divisive question that we have tended to avoid,"" writes leadership expert DePree in the foreword to this serious collection of essays: ""What is the connection between people's personal convictions and their public responsibilities?"" Various contributors from the wide spectrum of the Christian tradition explore whether and how faith should play a role in the workplace. While the collection as a whole suffers from repetition of key ideas among contributors, individual essays stand out. Isabel Lopez writes of ""Finding Wisdom and Purpose in Chaotic Times,"" while William Diehl cogently addresses the complexities of sharing personal faith with co-workers. (Mar.)
