Bernard Braley's anthology begins with the Biblical premise that we are required to offer our work as living worship and living prayer. To this is added Teilhard de Chardin's modern insight that in the work of spirit, conducted through an individual's profession or vocation, lies 'the very bonework of society'. A wealth of quotations, extracts, prayers, hymns and interviews challenges both Christian and secular interpretations of work, at a time when changes are wrought by modern society.
