ATLANTA (BP)�If your job feels more like a soap opera than a calling, you�re not alone. For many Christian professionals, work often entails navigating plenty of drama and tension.
There�s the couple having an affair down the hall; a foul-mouthed supervisor in the corner office; or a supervisor who may be pressuring subordinates to falsify financial records. Any one of these things can distract Christians from influencing others and living a godly life at work.
�The nature of the marketplace barrages the carnal senses,� Henry and Richard Blackaby write in their latest book, God in the Market Place: Experiencing His Will in Your Work, released by the B& H Publishing Group of LifeWay Christian Resources.
The father-son authors note that �success can foster pride and greed; competition can test your ethics and breed jealousy; gossip can spread like gangrene throughout the office; sexual enticement is always close at hand.
