- Verna Dozier "has gathered important writings -- her own and others' -- that answer three vital questions about ministry in the world. Part I addresses the question, `How does one make decisions when the choice is only between lesser evils ?' The task of the lay person is not as clear as choosing the good rather than the evil. These readings point to the agonizingly ambiguous questions most Christians face in daily work. What does an editor print -- and why ? How do politicians and bank tellers make tough choices and live with them ? Part II asks, `How does one live with the incomplete -- never quite making it ?' These readings point to the tough, slogging work that's involved in dealing with big issues -- getting state mental health policy changed, or dealing with hazardous waste. Part III asks the question, `How can we educate so that the resources of the faith are there for strength and not for solutions ?' This section addresses the relationship between the church and the world, theological issues related to the ministry of the laity, and specifically ways the institutional church can support the ministry of the laity where they live and work". -- inside front cover.
- Contents divided into three main parts: I: Making Decisions -- II: Living with the Incomplete -- III: Educational Support Systems. Part III divided into three sub-sections: Relationship between the Church and the World -- The Theological Issues -- New Challenges for the Institution.

- Includes bibliographical references.
- "This book aims to spell out more fully the connections between God's work and ours while recognizing the realities of contemporary work. ....To keep the book within manageable limits, we decided to restrict our focus to the public workplace, thereby omitting certain important areas of work such as the home and the community. .... The book focuses primarily on white-collar employment. .... The contributors are united on the crucial importance of re-establishing the faith-work connection. Out of their reflections and experience they are convinced that: Only so can Christians in the marketplace develop a holistic understanding of their faith rather than the compartmentalized one that tends to prevail; Only so can churches properly equip the people of God for their ministry in the world, their primary ministry, as well as in the church; Only so can society feel more powerfully the creative impact of Christian vision and values, commitment and compassion, that alone will overcome pressing and deep-seated problems". -- Foreword.
