It has been my experience that the marketplace ministry movement is having a significant impact on the Kingdom, and Christians are realizing that God has equipped and called them to their present location as their field of ministry. I am delighted that Os Hillman, who has been working with marketplace leaders for many years, has written this book, The 9 to 5 Window. I recommend it to those who are serious about integrating their faith into their work environment.

As a former businessman, Im delighted to see the growing movement of marketplace ministries encouraging Christians to serve God where they spend most of their timeon 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!

The Savior didnt just call us to a life inside the Church but also to a life that is outside of it, and Hes calling each of us to honor Him in all that we say, think and doespecially on the job. The 9 to 5 Window is a practical, insightful and thought-provoking book. Not only will its message transform your workplace, but it will also transform your life. Os Hillman is a true vessel of God, complete with briefcase and a Bible!

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.

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.

Os Hillman has long been a leader in the Faith at Work movement, and many of our students, staff and alumni at Regent University have been inspired by his work. Os now continues his leadership with this incisive, important book, helping Christians to reframe their work from Gods perspective.
