Psalms: Work Songs
Description
In the Disney version of Snow White, the seven dwarves go off to the mine each morning singing happily. But their joyful enthusiasm is often far removed from our own experience of work.
These studies look at six psalms to ‘sing’ in the workplace. For many Christians there is a gap between church on Sunday and work on Monday. These songs encourage us to bridge that gap. They will help us take our God to work – or maybe to discover that He is already there, at work Himself among our colleagues.
These are not general studies of the Psalms but rather a thematic journey through selected psalms that focus on how these Spirit-inspired songs relate to our everyday working lives. They address the frustration we often feel with work, the temptations to compromise, the busyness and stress of the workplace and the sometimes overwhelming expectations of colleagues. They will also help us to celebrate the good days when everything goes like a dream.

Customer Reviews
disappointing
I was disappointed with this study guide. It seems that the author (who prefers to be anonymous as I could not find a name anywhere on the book) was determined to make the psalms fit his or her ideas of working in a secular job. Their assumptions, that everyone at work who is not a Christian is totally wicked and evil in every behaviour, are naive and irritating. We are all sinners and in need of our Saviour to redeem us and we are all subject to the same temptations. God's word should not be used to justify our opinions. 
Stimulating - whether you work or not
Interesting exercises that really stimulated conversation. Our house group ranges in age from mid thirties to nearly eighty, and as long as you realise work does not necessarily mean paid employment it was relevant to us all and we learnt a lot.
