L AURIE B ETH J ONES , author of Jesus, CEO; The Path; and Teach Your Team to Fish

After working literally side by side with Andria, I can tell you that she definitely talks the talk in this book just as she walked the walk in the newsroom. Here she offers clear, thought-provoking anecdotes and insights, as well as some on-point devotional messages and mental targets that can help anyone who has to deal daily with the real world.

L EON H ARRIS , news anchor for CNN Live Today

The Walk at Work invites us to work with purpose and discover the lasting significance of a life spent walking with God. These steps to spiritual success provide a roadmap for professional life that will enable readers to do more than make a livingAndria shows us how to make a difference. Read this inspiring book and join Andria in lifes greatest adventure.

D R. J ACK G RAHAM , pastor of Prestonwood Baptist Church and president of the Southern Baptist Convention

If you have some issues with your work environmentand who doesnt?this book will transform you, your attitude, and the mess around you. The Walk at Work doesnt preach or teach you the Word of God; it inspires you to take it seriously to live victoriously, especially at work. Andria Halls own God-orchestrated career in broadcasting was the springboard God used for her to pen this book and tell the world that God is the real C.E.O. The Walk at Work rejuvenates and aligns our beliefs and values so that we can fulfill our ultimate purpose and destiny on the job. A pure delightit was like eating morsels of fine chocolate.

P AMELA P ERRY , president and founder of American Christian Writers Detroit, newspaper columnist with the Michigan Chronicle and Michigan Front Page, and freelance magazine writer

Andria Hall, child of the manse, has written an ennobling and greatly enriching testimony to her own faith in The Walk at Work. These spiritual reflections should inspire all whose vocation is in the marketplace, as well as many others.

G ARDNER T AYLOR , D.D., pastor emeritus of The Concord Baptist Church of Christ

This is a book that will walk with me everywhere, just like the Jesus I meet in every page of it. I love the Andria I see on TV, and now I feel like I know her better through our mutual Friend.

B ARBARA C AWTHORN C RAFTON , best-selling author

What a clever way to mix business with pleasure by showing us that it is okay to bring the Word of God out of the pulpit and into the workplace. Andria explains how to reach out to the Lord, know ourselves better, accept our faults, and see the good in others. The tools she provides will help us fight the devil in ourselves and in those who seek to lead us down the path of anger, bitterness, frustration, and self-doubt. This book is clever, insightful, educational, and uplifting. We can walk at work with our heads held high if we let Christ live in our hearts 24/7.

v3.1

God made my eyes that I might see.
God made my ears that I might hear.
God made my lips that I might speak.
God made my mind that I might think, and
God made my legs that I might walk.

In all I see, hear, speak, and think, may I walk daily to serve You.

For we are His workmanship,
created in Christ Jesus for good works,
which God prepared beforehand
that we should walk in them.

E PHESIANS 2:10

T o God, who is Glory, it is only through You, by You, and for You that I am able to dedicate this work to Your Son, my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. What a journey!

To my husband, Clayton; my children, Amber, Cameron, and Chase; my family and my friendsyour love and support have carried me through.

To my spiritual teachers in Christ, without you shining the Light, I would still be groping to find my way in the dark. Sister Marsha Allen and the rest of the team at The Global Church, Pastor Moussa Toure of Bethel World Outreach Ministries, Pastor Kerwin B. Lee of Berean Christian Church, and Pastor Kevin Brennan of Evangel Church, your knowledge of the Truth continues to feed me the pure milk of the Word of God (see 1 Peter 2:2).

To my editor, Erin Healy, and my new literary family at WaterBrook Press, thank God for your yes. As the deer pants for the water brooks, just as you all do, so too does my soul thirst after God (see Psalm 42:1).
