Author Brian Eckard’s new Audiobook ‘Wilderness of Unemployment’ is a powerful tool for one to stay connected to God throughout their search for a job

Brian Eckard, who has spent 24 years as a technical writer and 10 years as a corporate trainer, has completed his new audiobook "Wilderness of Unemployment: A 30-Day Devotional for the Christian Job Hunter": an encouraging and thought-provoking guide for those in the job market to keep their relationship with God strong as they navigate the pitfalls and emotional hurdles involved in seeking new employment opportunities.

"For most people, a job is their livelihood and defines who they are," writes Eckard. "When they lose their job, they lose their identity along with a source of income. If they are unable to find work quickly, financial ruin looms on the horizon. The longer a person stays unemployed, chances are good that fear, division within family and friends, and depression will arise. If a person allows these feelings to fester, they grow and become unmanageable. As hopelessness sets in, it hinders God's ability to bless because the person is allowing his or her faith to crumble. In other words, unbelief acts as a brake that slows down and stops God's ability to help."

Eckard continues, "Fortunately, we have the victory in Christ because Jesus overcame the world (John 16:33, 1 John 5:4). Therefore, during your job hunt, stay connected to God. Make time to study His Word and apply what you learn. Always stay in constant prayer and talk to Him (1 Corinthians 14:15, Ephesians 6:18, Colossians 4:2, Jude 1:20). Learn to sit still, meditate on His Word, and allow God to speak to you. Listen for His still, soft voice, a whisper in this world of chaos and noise swirling around you like a never-ending storm. In God, there is peace and joy even in times of need and loss. Seek His kingdom first, and He will add everything else to you (Matthew 6:33)."

Published by Audiobook Network, author Brian Eckard's new audiobook is an intuitive read that brings scripture passages and prayer together to help listeners manage through the difficult and sometimes scary process of finding a new job. With God at one's side, anything can be possible no matter how daunting of a task it might be.
