Business for the Glory of God

The Bible's Teaching on the Moral Goodness of Business

By: Wayne Grudem

Narrated by: Maurice England

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 naive 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.

Business can be a ministry for good in the lives of our neighbors

We as Christian business owners can embrace the good we can do for the world in Gods name. This book was a wonderful way to break down that process. Some of the book to many will sound basic. But to hear and read the scripture passages that support the basic ideas of business is a wonderful extension of ones study of scripture. It shows me and me and fellow business owners the good we do and can do for Gods world and children. I recomend this book for any fellowship of business owners that strive to understand how they can use their business to further Gods kingdom and beat down the devil. I recomend those interested to seek out Business Men's Fellowship. There are chapters world wide. Doing business Gods way is the best way.

Fairy tail....

Any additional comments?

Romantic, someone could say a little bit unrealistic in real society. But i don't think so. It gives a wholistic perspective of doing business. In my humble opinion, morales are very practical and necessary in sales and business.

Incredibly Freeing

So thankful to stumble upon this gem. Been wrestling with this topic for years and finally understand how to give God glory through profit, business development and heart posture.

Well thought out and concisely presented

The author presents a clear and concise reasoning for the premise of the book. Business, every aspect of it, when done well, brings glory to God. He addresses 9 topics including money, profit, competition, employment and others and makes the point that without corruption, they all point us to God. I'm grateful for the founders of the US and for the free market and I am also grateful to the author for helping me see how wonderful our economic structure really is.

Great

Loved it and I will definitely recommend this book to somebody else to ready too!!

Beautifully written and explained

I found this very helpful in a day where business is seen as an evil and greedy endeavor rather than a God given blessing to society.
