What People are Saying About This Book
This book is full of practical business advice. And it’s also well studied, not just across the Bible itself, but also the author has researched many other books and resources in his own writing. It’s full of footnotes and bonus thoughts. There are real life stories and examples. There are references and footnotes for the Bible verses and the other books that provide the backup for the assertions. And it’s built on solid experience from a real life business owner. I recommend it. (Review Here)
I spent my career working for a large global company, yet I found Bill English’s book applying to many situations I faced as I worked with people from around the world. I found the book to lay out a strong foundation for the Christian faith based on scripture complemented by personal experiences English has accumulated through his wide range of experiences.
Prepare to be challenged as English brings scripture to real life circumstances involving how we work and interact with others in the context of business from a Christian perspective.
As you read this book, be prepared to take a deep look at your own heart and your relationship with God. With that foundation, the book dives into how you bring your faith into the complexities of owning and running a business.
This is one of those books I will read again as there is much to absorb and reflect on in my own life, the depth of my faith, and my interactions with others. (Review Here)
Understanding the role business and entrepreneurship has in the life of a Christian is crucial for those called to serve in the marketplace. In this book, Bill English reveals the Biblical foundation for business and God’s four main purposes for every business; products, people, profits, and philanthropy. This is a deep dive into the theology of business and business ownership, providing clear, detailed, and easy to understand and implement concepts for each of the four purposes of business. Once you see the important and “spiritual” impact businesses can have on the people they serve, you’ll have a deeper appreciation for God’s purpose in business and the business owner. (Review Here)
