“In “Trading with God,” Ken Snodgrass offers his practical perspectives from a successful career with the trading group of a major oil and gas company, informed by a post-career theological education, to suggest a unique seven-step process for laity to live into God’s purposes in their increasingly secularized work environments. Thanks, Ken, for providing what we at Texas Methodist Foundation would call a special resource for “stewarding potential,” to help laity integrate their faith and their work.”
–Tom Locke, President of Texas Methodist Foundation

“From a background of lifelong Christian faith practice but unrecognized personal struggle with the real-world interface of work and faith, Ken Snodgrass addresses this observed behavioral-faith conflict. His well-conceived, practical book is a model to contemplate and apply. Written “…to help working Christians on their journey of faith within the workplace…” and “…[to help]clergy and Church workers who need educational resources on the subject…”, Trading with God is a success.”
–Harold D. Cain, MD, FCCP

“Combining his distinguished experience in the corporate world with a clear passion for theology, Ken Snodgrass has produced an eminently readable and practical book. If you have ever felt tension between Sunday and the workplace, if you are interested in concrete suggestions for integrating faith and work that are deeply grounded in the riches of the Christian theological tradition, this book is for you!”
–David H. Jensen, Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary

“Through story and example, Scripture and suggestion, Ken Snodgrass allows us all to deeply consider the possibility of an integrated, intentional existence.”
–Bobbie K. Jones, Elder in the United Methodist Church
Dr. Phillip Wingeler-Rayo
“Snodgrass offers a timely reflection on a theology of work in an age of greater secularization and growing population sectors with no religious affiliation … Snodgrass seamlessly weaves personal anecdotes with deep biblical and theological analysis of authors such as Calvin, Barth, and Moltmann and concludes with a reminder of the responsibility for every Christian to understand one’s vocational calling within a missional understanding of God’s purpose for creation.”
–Phillip Wingeler-Rayo, Dean of Wesley Theological Seminary
