- "[By] Whitney Wherrett Roberson".
- Includes bibliographical references.
- "Spirituality at Work began as an experiment: a small group of individuals whose spiritual roots lay in the Christian tradition met to explore the relationship between their work and their faith. .... Since that first conversation, SAW [Spirituality at Work] has developed into a community concerned with exploring links between what we do, who we are, and what we believe." -- Preface.
- "Here are the nuts and bolts of running a spirituality at work group, with practical information on facilitating meetings and detailed agendas for sessions exploring such questions as `Can our work be sacred' and 'How does language shape our values ?' [This book] is designed to be respectful of -- and applicable to -- most faith traditions". -- back cover.
- Contents divided into three main sections: Part I: The Basics -- Part II: The SAW Agendas -- Part III: Other Conversation Formats for Spirituality at Work Groups.
