In volume 1 of Working Blessedly Forever, Paul Stevens argues that doing marketplace theology requires head (thought), heart (prayer), and hand (action). Volume 2 takes up "the doing" part through the experience of multiple practitioners thus providing a practical marketplace theology. So under the headings of "Doing Theology from Above and Below," "Dimensions of Marketplace Practice," "Issues in the Marketplace," and "Marketplace Practice and the Church," these sixteen authors, ranging from a machinist to a lawyer, elaborate on what they have learned about the integration of faith and work from their actual work life. Edited by R. Paul Stevens, who writes the introduction, a short introduction to each session, three of the short chapters, and the epilogue, this book does not cover everything but gives a window into the actual life of a marketplace Christian in their work for God and neighbor. Along with volume 1 this puts "flesh on" the invigorating and empowering truth of biblical marketplace theology.
