how do you sustain a workplace spirituality

On Sunday, I preached on the Bible as a resource for our workplace. I looked at Esther as beauty queen, Nehemiah as urban developer and Lydia as a business women. All were found in hard ethical places and yet sustained a missional spirituality. I suggested the church should be encouraging our young people to be ministers of the gospel in government and politics and business. Halfway through my sermon I thought; "Steve, it would have been really useful and practical if you had some practical tips on how to sustain a workplace spirituality." But by then it was too late.

So I am on a mission this week to collect resources that would help sustain a workplace spirituality. Here's my start. What else do you know of?

Books:
A theology as big as the city, Ray Bakke,
The Monday Connection, William Diehl
Where's God on Monday, Alistair McKenzie and Wayne Kirkland

Websites:
Ways to pray at your computer;
Prayers for various occupations;
An example of peer work mentoring;
Practical suggestions and resources here and here;
