<DIV>The Old Testament is a source of wisdom that is relevant to contemporary life, both to those with Judeo-Christian backgrounds and to those of other faiths. The dramatic stories found in the ancient text -- illustrating the faith of Job, the courage of David, the compassion of Ruth, the justice of Moses -- reveal the virtues needed to live a meaningful life. Not only that, these stories raise timeless questions about the human condition that today's readers can apply to their professional lives.<p>This book grew out of the authors' thinking about key issues and questions they face in work and life. Together, the authors represent Protestant, Catholic, and Jewish heritages, and a wide age range.</div>
