When you're dragging yourself to work, do you ever get mad at Adam and Eve for making us have to toil for a living? If you're on the clock, is it ok to mentally clock out - even for a little while? Are these things that really matter when it comes to working "as unto the Lord?" While many questions face us as we work each day, perhaps the most important is, "What difference does it make in my job if I'm a Christian?"

In The Way We Work, Boone offers much more help than simply saying "You need to do your work well because you are a Christian." The Way We Work provides a thorough biblical examination of all our labors exploring:

• When work is a pain
• Laziness on the job
• The blessing of work
• Work that will last
• And much more.

Dr. James Hicks has been the Senior Pastor at Bloomington First Church of the Nazarene in Bloomington, Indiana, for 23 years.  He has taught discipleship and small groups for 30 plus years.  Dr. Hicks has a B.A. from Trevecca Nazarene University, a M.Div. from Nazarene Theological Seminary, and a D.Min. in Practical Theology from Christian Theological Seminary.  He is a graduate of the School of Large Church Management, has received training in the Alpha program, and training in small groups through Willow Creek. He has used variations of the Dynamics of Discipleship program as well as other curriculum through the years. He is currently the Southwest Indiana District SDMI chairman.

In his 23 years of ministry in Bloomington, Dr. Hicks has had the experience of taking an older, traditional church through the deprogramming stages and reprogramming the core through the church’s new purpose of “Seeking the Lost, Evangelizing the Lost, and Equipping the Body for Ministry.”  

In his doctoral dissertation,  “Discipleship Through Small Groups,” Dr. Hicks  revealed that Bloomington First Church, located near Indiana University, has been a “sending church” down through his 23 years.  Disciples have come from both churched and non-churched settings. After being trained, they are now active in the local church as well as in various ministries across the country.
