The book is a collection of devotionals written by business executives who have taken their faith to the workplace and the international marketplace. The book, which is a partnership with Intervarsity, Equip, and Priority Associates is now <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Devotional-Ventures-Inspiring-Devotions-Professionals/dp/0830743146">available for purchase on Amazon</a>. In the spirit of a little "collaborative intelligence, one of the unique things Devotional Ventures has done is to <a href="http://www.devotionalventures.org/write/">invite readers of devotional ventures to submit writings for consideration for the next editions</a>. From the back cover: " Your work matters to God! But how do you integrate your faith at work? In Devotional Ventures, Christian business professionals offer 60 engaging devotional insights on how to integrate your faith throughout your personal and professional life. From maintaining personal integrity, defending your faith, persevering through difficult situations, to dealing honestly and fairly with others, each relevant devotional topic directly applies to a challenge encountered in the lives of business professionals. You’ll hear inspiring thoughts on meeting these challenges from business professionals such as Pat Gelsinger, Senior Vice President at Intel; Jon Venverloh, Strategic Partnerships at Google, Katie McNerney, Marketing Manager at eBay and many others. An appropriate Scripture and questions for application will help you reflect on and apply the truths of each day’s devotion. Rather than compartmentalizing your “work life” and “church life,” you’ll be inspired to surrender all parts of your life fully to the Lord. You’ll also be invited to contribute your own devotional writing on the Devotional Ventures website. Come away with a better understanding of how your whole life matters to God! Learn how your faith can influence every aspect of your professional and personal life, and make you more productive, content and a businessperson of character. Transform your life, your workplace–and the world!" <a href="http://www.devotionalventures.org/reflections/">Another one of the other unique things about the website is a form that allows you to email each of the authors and provide them with feedback</a>.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" src="http://www.statcounter.com/counter/counter.js"></script><noscript><a href="http://www.statcounter.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://c15.statcounter.com/counter.php?sc_project=1587569&java=0&security=803f94aa&invisible=1" alt="counter statistics" border="0"></a> </noscript>  </div>Justin Formanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00610757439758166235noreply@blogger.com1
