Nottingham’s long, rich and colourful history has encompassed far more than Robin Hood, lace, Luddites and Lawrence; bikes, baccy and Brian Clough. Founded as an Anglian settlement on the north side of the River Trent, Nottingham’s royal castle placed it at the crossroads of England and English history through the medieval centuries and during the English civil war. The industrial revolution presented major social problems for what had been a much admired, compact, Georgian country town. In time, Nottingham overcame them and developed into a prosperous industrial centre. Its status was recognised when in 1897 it was designated a city by Queen Victoria. In the twentieth century it has been a thriving provincial city. This is its story: the history of Nottingham, ‘Queen of the Midlands’.

Many business books point to certain values or habits to be practiced and cultivated. But we need more than abstract principles to guide us in the pursuit of good business. More significantly, we need a genuine experience of the dynamic presence of God at work in our work. Businessman and CEO John Beckett calls us to the transformation of the workplace into a place where the kingdom of God is experienced. Through sharing his own story, as well as looking to biblical and modern-day examples, Beckett offers role models that serve as companions on the journey to faithful and fruitful work. Drawing on a lifetime of wisdom and business acumen, Beckett invites us to enter into the privilege of working in active partnership with God himself. Join the international movement of those whose faith is transforming their work. Master your Mondays by bringing them under the realm of the Master.
