Companionship and strategies for job seekers
Millions of people become unemployed every year, yet when job loss happens to us, we typically feel completely alone and often lost, ashamed, and afraid. No one knows how to comfort us when we lose our job. Unlike other griefs--when someone can say, "I'm sorry for your loss"--joblessness leaves family, friends, and acquaintances awkwardly searching for words.
Jobs Lost, Faith Found is for those who feel alone due to job loss. It is is also for those who offer respect, companionship, guidance, and resources to the unemployed.
Mary C. Lindberg, pastor, chaplain, and spiritual director, draws on her family's experience of unemployment and the wisdom of many others, including sages from Scripture and the Christian tradition, to help readers discover a sense of worth and purpose on their way to a new job. She offers prayers, insights, Bible stories, and reflections to light the way during this time of uncertainty and wandering.
The path toward hope will be your own, but the ideas, reflections, and strategies in this book will get you started on your journey.
"For those who find themselves in the wilderness of job loss, this book provides comfort, guidance and hope--assuring us God is with us, even when everything else we've counted on crumbles. Part practical guidebook, part devotional resource, this beautifully written book offers the wisdom of others who have walked this path before us, questions for journaling and reflection that invite us to work through the losses and opportunities that accompany this experience, and a richly researched selection of prayers and Scripture to sustain us on the way." -- Marcia Bates, Family Therapist, Lutheran Counseling Network
"I recommend Jobs Lost, Faith Found to anyone encountering unemployment and looking to turn it into a meaningful time of heightened faithfulness. It offers practical tools for the ups and downs and fears encountered during this time of instability and transition. It is a hope-filled, grace-filled resource!" -- Emily Austin, Chaplain Volunteer
