My Books

A Friendship That Transcends

Now Available!

Experiencing a Personal Relationship with Jesus

Bill Dalgetty’s new book shows us how to have that ongoing personal relationship with Christ that strengthens us personally and enriches our relationships with God, family, and friends.  With numerous stories, cross-referenced to scripture, it is easy to read and at the same time full of rich insight and encouragement for anyone seeking a closer walk with Christ. 

While Bill speaks from a Catholic perspective that has received a Nihil Obstat from Bishop Michael Burbidge of the Arlington Diocese, this book speaks to all Christians about faith, hope, and purpose in everyday life.  Highly recommended for personal and group reflection.

Hope for the Workplace - Christ in You

How to Live Out Your Faith at Work

Bill Dalgetty draws from his extensive experience in business and ministry to examine the challenges faced by Christians seeking to live out their faith in today’s workplace. Readers will discover practical tips for:

  • Dealing with a difficult boss or colleague

  • Maintaining integrity and ethics in business decisions

  • Balancing family and career

  • Seeking excellence in one’s work

  • Caring for co-workers 


Fifty real life stories, illustrate God’s solutions to these common workplace issues. Relying on Scripture and the writings of both Catholic and Protestant leaders, the author issues a clear and concise call for readers to accept God’s offer to dwell in them and allow the Holy Spirit to empower them to bring hope and transformation to their workplaces.

Bishop Peter Smith, Auxiliary Bishop, Archdiocese of Portland

“Bill Dalgetty’s A Friendship that Transcends captures the essence of Christian life as an ongoing, transforming, and personal relationship with God.

It gives meaning to everything else.  He addresses this from a spiritual, practical and inspiration perspective, and as one who has been living this out in in own life.  In Hope for the Workplace, he describes how to live out one’s faith in the workplace, something most people find very hard to do.  He again offers many real life stories of men and women grappling with the challenges of living out their faith in the workplace.  Both books are well worth reading, reflecting, and praying through.”

On every page he tells his story of how this deep friendship plays out in all areas of his life and in every personal anecdote he cross-references scripture showing us what St. Matthew (19:26) tells us: “…for God all things are possible.” This book will inspire you with wisdom, hope, and spiritual insights about the mysteries of joy and suffering.”
