Hearing God & Slaying Giants in Your Career: It's Not About You Working. It's About God Working in You.
Our vocation is one of the most valuable tools in God's tool chest. We spend most of our lives at work so it makes sense that God would use our time at work to accomplish something much bigger than a paycheck. If you're just entering the job market, in middle of your career or on the verge of retirement this book is a great resource. Everybody at different life stages will be able to relate to this book because we all have at least one giant that we are facing or have faced at certain points in our life time. And through Darryl's story, he shows what it looks like to face the giants in the name of the Lord in this modern life. Through his stories Darryl Brumfield shows how alive and real God is, even to this very day. This is an inspiring book, filled with profound wisdom that is lived out in making life decisions. In a very animated and often humorous fashion Darryl Brumfield's IT career is unpacked. But this book transcends the work place. The title and book cover, are intended to bridge the ancient classic story of "David & Goliath" with our contemporary challenges in both career and life. Regardless of one's religious affiliation or belief, most people can relate to the story of David and Goliath. Like David, most people have faced a giant at some point in their life. A medical opinion, relationship conflict or a depressing economic forecast can become menacing giants that taunt us like Goliath taunted David. Unfortunately, most of us don't face our giants the same way that David faced his. This book is about facing your giant. Darryl Brumfield's journey is filled with peaks and valleys. At times he has great faith and at times he has none at all. He has written an honest story one that will inspire and encourage. By the time you finish reading his story, you may be wishing Darryl's story is yours, but the good news is that you don't need to be him. All you need to do is turn to the same God that Darryl turned to and face your own giant. The same God that shows up, time and time again, in this book is more than willing to show up for you.

About the Author

Darryl Brumfield has spent more than 30 years as a pastor and Bible teacher both at home and abroad while working full time as a software engineer. Darryl started public speaking as a child by telling jokes in his family room in Compton California. Since then, God has given him a passion to accurately teach God's word using humor and practical applications to a diverse social, economic and cultural audience. Currently, Darryl lives in Southern California with his wife Linda where he continues to blur the lines between secular and sacred. He speaks regularly at retreats and church services. He serves his local church (NewSong-Santa Ana), as a volunteer teaching pastor and he continues to develop innovative IT solutions for an industry leading technology company. But most of all he continues to approach life with hope that is rooted in hearing God.
