Can business activity in itself be morally good and pleasing to God? Sometimes business can seem so shady-manipulating the "bottom line," deceiving the consumer, or gaining promotions because of whom you know. But Wayne Grudem introduces a novel concept: business itself glorifies God when it is conducted in a way that imitates God's character and creation. He shows that all aspects of business, including ownership, profit, money, competition, and borrowing and lending, glorify God because they are reflective of God's nature. Though Grudem isn't naïve about the easy ways these activities can be perverted and used as a means to sin, he knows that Christians can be about the business of business. This biblically based book is a thoughtful guide to imitating God during interactions with customers, coworkers, employees, and other businesses. See how your business, and your life in business, can be dedicated to God's glory.

THIS BOOK IS A MUST READ FOR EVERY CHRISTIAN BUSINESS OWNER... God has called you for such a time as this! In this powerful book, Min. James L. Standfield, “The Authority On Biblical Entrepreneurship” gives the Christian Entrepreneur the scriptures they need for Entrepreneurial Success. I have set watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem; They shall never hold their peace day or night. You who make mention of the LORD, do not keep silent, And give Him no rest till He establishes. Isaiah 62:6-7 The Hebrew word for “make mention” is zakar and means to remember, to remind, to cause to remember. “You who make mention of the LORD” are literally the Lord’s remembrancer’s. Their job is to remind Him relentlessly of His word until He has established what He has promised. God has a wonderful memory, but He is not one bit offended by His people reminding Him of those things He has spoken. How long are we to remind God of His promises? He tells His watchmen to give Him no rest until He establishes what He has promised. This calls for faith, patience and persistence. The Christian Entrepreneur is not to give up on reminding God of His Word until they see all the things He has promised to establish in their business.
