"This book is a home run!"

“…extremely practical and genuinely profound … a must read for all Christians.” -- Ed Silvoso, Harvest Evangelism
In his book The 9 to 5 Window, Os Hillman equates work with worship and shows this to be a deeply spiritual truth. By following his guidance we can all make the secular sacred and so transform our lives. Don't miss this splendid book!
Ken Blanchard, Co-author The One Minute Manager®, and The Secret
What happens when Christian believers take the Word of God literally and begin to apply it where they spend sixty to seventy percent of their waking hours? What happens when they use their spiritual authority in their work lives, reflecting their spiritual value system in their area of influence? What happens when Christians move in a spiritual dimension in their work lives as few have endeavored to do before now?
What happens is that lives, workplaces, cities and nations begin to be transformed by the power of Jesus Christ. His prayer in Matthew, which says “Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven,” becomes a reality in the here and now.
Os Hillman is one of the leading authorities on faith at work today. The 9 To 5 Window: How Faith Can Transform The Workplace, provides an in-depth look at this new move of God and how Christians can practically implement their faith with their work life. Topics include facts on the current movement, how to bring the presence of God into your workplace, developing an intercessory prayer team at work, transforming your workplace, city, and nation for Christ, and much more. Hillman combines his ten years of experience working in the faith at work movement with 20 years as an advertising executive. Bonus Feature: Includes a Bible study guide at the end of the book, ideal for small groups!

Praise for The 9 to 5 Window
Os Hillman has written a book that is extremely practical and genuinely profound. Os addresses how to resolve the tension between the pulpit and the marketplace by showing pastors what is in the heart of Christians who feel a call to ministry but not to the pulpit. He draws on his own insights but also on what he constantly gleans from others in his God given networking ministry. This book is a superb how-to manual and a must read for all Christians.

As a former businessman, I’m delighted to see the growing movement of “marketplace ministries” encouraging Christians to serve God where they spend most of their time—on the job. Not only does The 9 to 5 Window address issues that have caused believers to separate work and ministry, but it also provides a host of guiding principles to those who want to effectively impact their workplaces for Christ. This book helps all of us to see ourselves as ministers!
Dr. Tom Fortson
President and Chief Executive Officer, Promise Keepers
Arguably, Os Hillman is the most knowledgeable person today in the rapidly escalating Faith at Work movement. The 9 to 5 Window will give you an accurate, thorough, and enjoyable overview of one of the most crucial things that the Spirit is saying to the churches in this season.

I have read many of these marketplace books and they usually follow the same theme. But in [this] case I was particularly impressed. And especially with the chapters on Hearing God [and] Receiving only from God. Like [Os], God has taken me through very deep water and my only desire is to honour and love Him. I have been very blessed by [his] daily TGIF Marketplace Meditation. Thank you for everything that you are doing to support and bless us in the marketplace.

"The 9 to 5 Window" clearly should be the workplace Bible. Os Hillman has weaved a tapestry of life between the covers of this book. There is not a day that goes by that someone, on some level does not mention the undercurrent of discontent as it relates their purpose in life and the challenge of blending the realities of the workplace with their personal faith. Many are unnecessarily suffering in silence. For me, it became an obsession; the high stakes search for my destiny was preoccupying my mind and disturbing my sleep. It rendered me professionally disoriented. I now know I am not the only one. I knew there were clues to be discovered and I was determined to find them. Every clue was examined and each took me to the next one. I stumbled on to Os Hillman's website and after watching the video clip, I knew I had found a major clue. He not only got it--he has devoted his life to making sure we all get it. I would have moved the universe for the information I have discovered in "The 9 to 5 Window." This book not only makes the case for how Faith can transform the workplace; it actually puts life in perspective, inclusive of finding the purpose for your life. The flagship chapters are Chapter 10, "Receiving Only What God Gives You," and chapter 11, "Do not Reach for the Power." These chapters are particularly important because when a person is hungry for something, everything looks good. Os Hillman has graphically and painfully, from his personal experience, along with the life of Joseph, put in perspective the need to listen for God's input in the face of independent actions. Had I had the power of this book years ago, it is my belief that my life's journey would be at a different level. As the workplace continues to detour to chaos and security in the workplace continues to phase into ambiguity; leaders at every level will need to ground themselves in something greater than themselves, and certainly greater than their job description. It is my contention that the grounding should start with "The 9 to 5 Window." Not only will it put the 9 to 5 Window in perspective, it will add stability and hope to the 24-hour window.

Tune to “You Raise Me Up” by Josh Groban
===============================================================
Rick Warren
Dr. Rick Warren is passionate about attacking what he calls the five “Global Goliaths” – spiritual emptiness, egocentric leadership, extreme poverty, pandemic disease, and illiteracy/poor education. His goal is a second Reformation by restoring responsibility in people, credibility in churches, and civility in culture. He is a pastor, global strategist, theologian, and philanthropist. He’s been often named " America's most influential spiritual leader" and “ America’s Pastor.” (1)
As a pastor, he founded Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, Calif., in 1980 with one family. Today, it is an evangelical congregation averaging 22,000 weekly attendees, a 120-acre campus, and has more than 300 community ministries to groups such as prisoners, CEOs, addicts, single parents, and those with HIV/AIDS. Recently, the church fed 42,000 homeless people – three meals a day – for 40 days.
He also leads the Purpose Driven Network of churches, a global coalition of congregations in 162 countries. More than 400,000 ministers and priests have been trained worldwide, and almost 157,000 church leaders subscribe to Ministry Toolbox, his weekly newsletter. His previous book, The Purpose Driven Church is listed in “100 Christian Books That Changed the 20 th Century.” Forbes magazine called it, “The best book on entrepreneurship, management, and leadership in print.”
As a global strategist , Dr. Warren advises leaders in the public, private, and faith sectors on leadership development, poverty, health, education, and faith in culture. He has been invited to speak at the United Nations, the World Economic Forum in Davos, the African Union, the Council on Foreign Relations, Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government, TIME’s Global Health Summit, and numerous congresses around the world. TIME magazine named him one of “15 World Leaders Who Mattered Most in 2004” and in 2005 one of the “100 Most Influential People in the World.” Also, in 2005 U.S. News & World Report named him one of “ America’s 25 Best Leaders”.
As a theologian, Dr. Warren has lectured at Oxford, Cambridge, the University of Judaism, the Evangelical Theological Society, and numerous seminaries and universities. His six books are known for explaining theology in understandable ways and have been translated into more than 50 languages. Dr. Warren says he teaches theology without using theological terms and telling people it is theology. His latest book, The Purpose Driven Life, has sold 25 million copies and is the best-selling hardback book in American history, according to Publisher’s Weekly.
As philanthropists, Rick and Kay Warren give away 90 percent of their income through three foundations: Acts of Mercy, which serves those infected and affected by AIDS; Equipping the Church, which trains church leaders in developing countries; and The Global PEACE Fund, which fights poverty, disease, and illiteracy.
MEDIA QUOTES
The Weekly Standard - “… clearly among the two or three most influential Americans working from the west coast.”
The Economist - “Rick Warren is arguably the most influential pastor in America.”
The Times ( London) - “ Business and political leaders across America are turning to Rick Warren for guidance.”
Forbes - “Were it a business, Saddleback Church would be compared with Dell, Google or Starbucks.”
ABC News - “ The Purpose Driven Life is the epicenter of a spiritual shockwave taking root across America in unlikely places like offices and university campuses. It has become a movement.”
TIME - “Movie stars and political leaders aren't the only ones turning to Rick Warren for spiritual guidance. Millions of people – from NFL and LPGA players to corporate executives to high school students to prison inmates – meet regularly to discuss The Purpose Driven Life.”

I bring to my clients the education and business experience of a consultant and general manager, the strength and tenacity of a collegiate All-American athlete, the curiosity of an inquisitive child, the courage and resilience of a Breast Cancer survivor, the sense of exploration and cultural appreciation of a world-traveler, and the compassion of a devoted community volunteer. My strength as a coach is a combination of my talents, skills, and life experiences.
As a consultant, I have helped companies identify areas that they should work to improve, and have helped them to take the steps to develop and implement plans to achieve goals and see results. As a coach, I have helped individuals define success, clarify their personal goals and overcome obstacles that may have previously been preventing them from living a fuller life.

BETH MOORE
B e more like Christ, day by day reflect His love,
E xperience joy & peace unspeakable;
T rusting His Word, to His will surrendering;
H e is the Vine, in Him abide, bear fruit!
M ore of Him, less of me - let people see;
O let His grace amazing flow,
O ur heart - God's dwelling place - keep it holy;
R ejoice in Him,
E xalt His Name!
This may be sung to the tune of "How Great Thou Art"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
About Beth Moore
Beth Moore was born on an Army base in Green Bay, Wisconsin, during what her father describes as the worst thunderstorm the city had seen in five years. He affectionately says the Lord brought her into the world with a drum roll. The fourth child of a retired Army major and a homemaker, Beth was raised in Arkadelphia, Arkansas. Her father managed the local cinema where each of her four siblings had a role to play. Beth’s job was to hand out samples of popcorn and soda. Growing up in the theater had its perks. Sometimes Beth would be allowed to slip into a movie and take with her a pickle bag full of popcorn and a Dixie cup of Coke.
There in a theater chair, wide-eyed and filled to the brim with Coca-Cola, Beth began a lifelong love for stories. She loved to tell them, write them, and be told them. The story that captured her heart and consumed her life, however, was not told in a movie theater. It was the story told in Sunday School of Jesus, a Savior who loved children and who thought she was special. A seed was planted in her young heart that would grow to mark her life with a passionate love for Christ.
At the age of 18, Beth sensed God calling her to work for Him. Although she couldn’t imagine what that would mean, she made it her goal to say yes to whatever He asked. Beth graduated from Southwest Texas State University with a degree in political science. She would later receive an honorary doctorate in humanities from Howard Payne University. She married Keith in 1978 and soon after the Lord added Amanda and Melissa to the family. As a young wife and mother, Beth served the Lord by speaking at luncheons and retreats, working at Mother’s Day Out, and teaching Christian aerobics.
A love for the Word of God was embedded in Beth’s life when she took a Bible doctrine class at her church. Her teacher was Buddy Walters, a former college football player who taught the Scriptures with tears streaming down his cheeks. She fervently prayed for such a passion for God’s Word. It was Buddy who first taught Beth, along with Keith, how to study the Bible.
Beth founded Living Proof Ministries in 1994 with the purpose of teaching women how to love and live on God’s Word. She has written numerous books and Bible studies, including Breaking Free, Believing God, and When Godly People Do Ungodly Things, that have been read by women of all ages, races, and denominations. Through the years, American missionaries and expatriates have taken the Bible studies overseas, resulting in Beth Moore Bible study groups popping up all over the world. Beth’s Living Proof Live conferences have taken her to thirty-nine states since 1994 and have been attended by more than 421,000 women. God has graciously given her the opportunity to speak to the body of Christ in many different countries, including Ireland, England, Singapore, the Philippines, Puerto Rico, and India. With great joy, she began a radio ministry in 2004 called Living Proof with Beth Moore.
Ever the storyteller, Beth is known to pepper her teaching with stories and poems written from the perspective of pertinent characters. She communicates with great energy, passion, humor, warmth, and grace.
Beth attends Houston’s First Baptist Church, where she hosts an interdenominational Tuesday-night Bible study for women in her city. Because of her burden for unity in the body of Christ, Beth counts serving women of all denominations as one of her greatest privileges in life.
Beth and Keith praise God for 28 years of marriage. They enjoy traveling, hiking, drinking coffee on the back porch, eating Mexican food, making each other laugh, walking their dogs, Beanie and Sunny, and being grandparents. Amanda and her husband, Curtis, serve at a church in the Dallas area and have a one-year-old son named Jackson. Melissa, who shares her mother’s appreciation for the Greek language, is completing her Master’s degree in Biblical exegesis.

RAINBOW OF HOPE
RAINBOW OF HOPE
R emind us of God's faithfulness,
A sure covenant of God;
I n every circumstance of life,
N ever will He forsake us!
B elieve His Word and promise true,
O bey and trust completely -
W ith all our hearts, our mind,
O ur strength,
F aith will sustain us throughout!
H e's Emmanuel -God with us!
O ffering hope eternal!
P eace beyond understanding give,
E verlasting joy fore'er!
3rd Edition, Volume 3, Demi #36
I have always had a great fondness for rainbows. I’m not sure why but I suspect that part of it may be the brilliance of the colors, or maybe it’s the complexity of their formulation that captivate my fascination. But more than these, I like what rainbows symbolize. They symbolize a covenant between the Creator and His creation. This covenant was established during the days of Noah when God said, “This bow is the sign of the covenant I have established between Me and all life on the earth.” (Genesis 9:17) But what exactly does this covenant mean? The covenant referred to was God’s promise that He would never allow the earth to be completely destroyed by water again.
What an important promise to make because prior to the first flood, while Noah was still building the ark, no one had ever seen rain before. That is why Noah’s generation never believed his predictions about the oncoming flood or the need for an ark. They had no proof of rain’s existence until after it came. As a result, after the flood, God’s covenant – in the form of a rainbow, kept mankind from being terrified at the sight of a cloud because they knew that God had promised that rain would not result in total disaster.
That’s true in life too. We have often heard that into every life a little rain must fall. We are all faced with circumstances that could strike terror into our hearts and cause us to wonder if disaster that could completely destroy us is pending. Whether it is the loss of a loved one, a child gone astray, an ending of a relationship or a business deal gone bad – all have the capability of creating fear and sorrow that could be never ending until we remember God’s rainbow promise to us. “Beloved, consider it pure joy whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.” (James 1:3 – 4)
Just as the rain in nature cause the growth of many living creatures and plants, so too does the rain that occurs in our lives. It creates perseverance and wisdom and teaches us to stand firm as we see the promises of God come to life in our circumstances. Just as the rainbow appears in the clouds after a rain, so too will the covenant of God’s promises appear in the fabric of a life totally surrendered to Him. Rainbows don’t appear before the storm. Their reassuring presence is only manifested as the clouds begin to clear.
If you are in the middle of one of life’s storms, and the flood waters seem as though they will engulf you, you can be sure of one thing – God’s covenant to you. Watch carefully for it. One day when you may least expect it, a brilliant, colorful ray will begin to form on the horizon and you will hear God’s voice in the gentle breeze whispering, “I, myself do establish my covenant with you…never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life.” ((Genesis 9:9, 15)
R emind us of God's faithfulness,
A sure covenant of God;
I n every circumstance of life,
N ever will He forsake us!
B elieve His Word and promise true,
O bey and trust completely -
W ith all our hearts, our mind,
O ur strength,
F aith will sustain us throughout!
H e's Emmanuel -God with us!
O ffering hope eternal!
P eace beyond understanding give,
E verlasting joy fore'er!

I have always had a great fondness for rainbows. I’m not sure why but I suspect that part of it may be the brilliance of the colors, or maybe it’s the complexity of their formulation that captivate my fascination. But more than these, I like what rainbows symbolize. They symbolize a covenant between the Creator and His creation. This covenant was established during the days of Noah when God said, “This bow is the sign of the covenant I have established between Me and all life on the earth.” (Genesis 9:17) But what exactly does this covenant mean? The covenant referred to was God’s promise that He would never allow the earth to be completely destroyed by water again.
