Michael Tooker has spent the bulk of his adult career in the competitive world of corporate America. He’s seen firsthand the cause/effect between the kind of culture a company creates and the impact it has – either good or bad – on employee contentment, customer satisfaction and the company’s bottom line. After 25 years, he recently moved from a corner office to a member of the clergy in one of the largest, most vibrant churches in America. Regardless of where he works, it’s clear to him that a culture of grace makes all the difference. He holds an undergraduate business degree from the University of Texas and an MBA from Arizona State University. Michael likes to slip on hiking shoes or snap on snow skis and loves it when he has a plane ticket to someplace he’s never been before. He and his wife, Christine, live in Scottsdale, Arizona and have two adult sons.

In Grace at Work, Dr. Tim Kimmel, Founder and Executive Director of Family Matters and co-author Michael Tooker educate and inspire workers so they can apply grace-based lessons where they spend most of their time—at work.

Kimmel and Tooker teach readers how to:

influence others with kindness, mercy, understanding, and patience.
be encouraging to your colleagues and create a positive work environment.
forgive at the workplace and share hope with others.
You shouldn’t be modeling Jesus in the workplace. You should be following Jesus in the workplace. Grace at Work is for anyone tired of their negative work environment, employees overwhelmed with office politics, and men and women searching for a way to incorporate their Christian values into the place where they spend a majority of their time.
