The authors analyze various principles from the lives of followers of Jesus and demonstrate how they apply to modern workplaces. Building upon the growing scholarship on workplace spirituality and organizational leadership, this book offers practical and theoretical perspectives on integrating faith at work. Debra J.

Organizational Metaphors
This edited volume expands on Morgan's organizational metaphors through the lens of faith to illuminate organizational function. Part I uses metaphor to illustrate dysfunctional organizations, including the impact of dysfunction upon organizational trust, performance, and longevity. Part II examines the progression from a dysfunctional organization to one that exhibits functionality. Finally, the last section discusses healthy organizations. Metaphors used in this book include Pygmalion organizations, organizational zombies, and organizations as vineyards. This book offers new metaphors that can be applied in organizational theory.

Biology of Play
How can we define 'play'? How does play behaviour develop? Can it be measured? Is it a universal childhood phenomenon? Do children learn through play? In an attempt to answer these and other questions, Biology of Play offers a wide, selective range of current thinking, observational work and experiments on play. Additionally, the more practical clinical and educational aspects of the subject are discussed, e.g. the r(le of play in psychotherapy, the organisation of play in nursery groups and the provision of play space in urban housing estates. The papers presented in this book - from contributors in Britain, the United States, Sweden, Holland and Israel - are as diverse as the subject itself. The papers should prove of especial interest to play leaders, educationalists, social workers, psychologists and paediatricians.
