Christians can keep their church and working lives in separate compartments. They may want and even try to live for Christ in the office, factory or school, but somehow what they learn on a Sunday seems not to bear on what they are doing on Monday. Is being a Christian at work any more than not swearing or stealing paper clips?John D. Beckett thinks so, and his book is a bold call to transform the workplace into a place where the kingdom of God is experienced. He recounts some of the struggles he has encountered during his long career in business and management, and how they have enhanced his understanding of his faith and work. He introduces several biblical characters as role models for living out faith in the workplace, and focuses on five themes where biblical truths and business realities intersect.The author weaves three principles into his workplace a warm personal relationship with the Lord, a closer alignment of faith and work, and the multi-faceted expression of God's kingdom.

John A'Beckett przybył do Kruczego Borku z Melbourne, znajdującego się na przedpolu Alp Australijskich. Wpierw oczywiście dotarł do Warszawy, a potem do miejsca, które stało się tytułem tej książki. W konsekwencji swego przybycia nad Wisłę dokonała się w Johnie transformacja z dramaturga w poetę. To było jakby nieuniknione, bo przecież ten erudyta, filozof i znawca teatru uwielbiał kraje natchnione. I to tutaj odnalazł fascynację literaturą wysoką, czyli poezją. Poza stolicą najczęściej John A'Beckett przebywał w Kruczym Borku na Kurpiach. Tam Beata, z którą był związany, miała swoją daczę zbudowaną z dwóch kurpiowskich domów. Na Kurpiach John znajdował to, czego nie mogło dać mu miasto sielski krajobraz i inspirację do spokojnych parnasistowskich wierszy. Przez Kruczy Borek, niejako metaforycznie i dosłownie, wchodzimy do poezji Johna A'Becketta.
