In this reading plan, we’ll study the life of Hannah More—perhaps the most important writer you’ve never heard of. She used her unique gifts to find a better way to create meaningful change for the Kingdom, which eventually led to the abolition of slavery in the British empire.

This 4-day plan provides a theological foundation for the importance of doing excellent work and offers practical steps to consistently point people to God through how you work. Excellence is not perfection. A longtime Workmatters advocate says, “Excellence is maximizing our capability for a given assignment. Perfection is the endless pursuit of a false ideal.” Excellence is often lived out in small, ordinary moments—being prompt and prepared, sharpening our skills, prayerful planning, and setting clear priorities. Excellent work reflects how we think about God, serve others in love, and build credibility for sharing our faith in everyday life.

We live in a world filled with darkness, confusion, fear, and moral decay. Yet God has called His people to shine brighter than ever. This five-day devotional, Shining as the Light, will help you discover how to live as a true light-bearer in your generation. Over the next few days, you will learn how to rise above spiritual darkness, walk in excellence, think with a kingdom mindset, and influence your world for God’s glory. You will see that shining for God is not about striving harder but about allowing His presence within you to radiate outward.
