Good writing is about delivering substance with style. On both counts, Tan Soo-Inn's Grace@Work e-mail writing distinguishes itself from the wide range of inspirational writings that Christians connected to the Internet are so familiar with. Jesus is the principal character but Harry Potter, Elton John, Elvis Presley, Darth Vader and The Beatles, among others, all play supporting roles.

Soo-Inn has the gift of connecting contemporary issues of the day to the Word that is eternal. And he does so in as few words as possible, reminding one of an old saying that good things, when short, are twice as good. This collection of his e-mail articles in book form should be digested in the same manner -- page by page, as the circumstances dictate. Keep it handy and refer to it often. Nuggets of wisdom about living as a Christian in the workplace can now be retrieved without having to log into the Internet.
