Rezensionen

"This book will be a welcomed resource for individuals, managers and researchers who are seeking to better understand the role of religion in the lives of employees. It will allow the reader, maybe for the first time, to see the perspective, hear the voice and understand the strategic thought process of someone whose religious belief is considered a vital aspect of their human indentity - regardless of where they find themselves, including the workplace." (Timothy Ewest, JBIB Journal of Biblical Integration, Vol. 19, 2016)
