The only resource you'll need to facilitate or participate in a Band is a Bible - but there are a wide range of resources that will help to deepen your understanding of what it means to work out your faith at work. Here are some of our favourites:

Get a Life Paul Valler, IVP, £8.99
Long working hours, travel, and ever-evolving gadgets connecting us to an always-on world leave many people snapped of energy and far too tired. Families and friends often get the dregs of lives worn out by work. Paul Valler uncovers the root causes and shows us how gaining a strong identity and clear purpose enables us to make winning choices.
