In 1997, Atlanta businessman Os Hillman began writing a daily e-mail devotional featuring 4-minute meditations on faith and work life. For men and women in the workplace, this was just what they needed: practical help in applying their faith to their work life; encouragement to live out their faith; empowerment to be more effective in their jobs; support to become powerful witnesses at work; and examples of others who experienced the presence of God at work. It has since become one of the fastest growing e-mail devotions on line. Now Hillman has written his second book of devotions. TGIF includes 365 all-new daily meditations, plus a bonus topical index to find devotions that relate to specific topics such as motives, handling disappointments, adversity, integrity, finances, decision making and much more. Whether for individual quiet times, Bible study groups or workplace groups, these daily devotions will help men and women fulfill God's call on their lives in the workplace.

Brady Poppinga discovered his passion for football at an early age. Determined to first play for Brigham Young University and then the NFL, Brady immersed himself in youth sports. Even as he gained strength, skills, and eventually became a BYU recruit, Brady faced a monumental challenge: his inability to control his emotions in the heat of competition. With a win at all costs mentality, Brady details how he became known for an over aggressive style of playing that led to strained relationships, and questions about his character. But it was not until he served on a mission in South America that Brady finally understood the true spirit of competition. Brady shares how he learned to master his emotions, achieve excellence on the field, and help lead his team to championships. He encourages others to apply his lessons-not just to games-but life as well. The True Spirit of Competition offers a captivating look into a Super Bowl Champion's inspiring approach to handling life's competitive moments, both on and off the field.

The concept of competition is frequently regarded with ambivalence. While its champions wholeheartedly endorse it for reasons of efficiency, critics believe competition undermines ethics. They denounce competitive thinking, call for modesty in profit-making, and rail against economisation. However, Christoph Lütge argues convincingly that intensified competition can work in favour of ethical goals, and that many criticisms of competition stem from an inadequate understanding of how modern societies and economies function. The author illustrates his view with examples from ecology, healthcare and education, and concludes with a call for more entrepreneurial spirit.
