Working for a Difficult Boss: Lessons from the Life of Daniel

In the United States, roughly 158 million people go to work daily. Well over half (70%) report working for a bad boss. At some point, 50% will quit their jobs because of a boss who lacks the skills and ability to manage people well. In addition, according to Barna Research, 25% of American adults are practicing Christians. This means that (roughly) 40 million Christians go to work each day, and thirty million will be working for a bad boss.
Twenty million will quit their jobs at some point due to a bad boss. But is quitting the only option? Bill English doesn't think so. English understands that difficult bosses are everywhere. They exist in business, ministry, churches, politics, sports, and elsewhere. Nearly everyone will have a difficult boss at one time or another and will hate the experience. Frankly, it can be difficult to walk closely with God and feel his presence when you must face a difficult boss each day.
Yet Daniel did exactly this. Daniel worked for very difficult kings, yet he kept his faithfulness to God, produced excellent work products, and was a strong witness for God at the highest levels of Babylon. English believes we can learn from the life of Daniel about how to thrive when we work for difficult bosses by managing ourselves better. If you have a difficult boss and want to be faithful to God in your job while producing excellent results each day, this book is written for you.
