About the book

Most Christians will never stand on a platform. Their influence is more often exercised at a desk, on a farm, in a kitchen, in a ward, at a market stall, in a classroom, within a family, or through the repeated responsibilities of ordinary life.

This book explores Christian influence through ordinary work, suffering, prayer, character, presence, faithfulness, community and love. It draws on Sacred Scripture, the Catholic contemplative tradition, African theological voices and Yoruba proverbial wisdom to ask a simple but demanding question: what does faithful influence look like where God has already placed us?

“Where God has placed you is where your influence begins.”
