Reardon, feature writer, The Chicago TribuneTraditional pieties just don't harmonize with today's workplace, but what should we put in their place? Pierce's analysis is deeply rewarding. This is NOT a how-to-become-a-saint book; it is a practical guide to a better life. -- David Neff, editor, Christianity Today
