Information on Business for the Glory of God from the publisher:
Can Business Glorify God? We normally think of worship, faith evangelism, and other "spiritual" activities as glorifying to God, but business? Business seems synonymous with greed and corruption, not something that would imitate a holy God. But Wayne Grudem believes that by engaging in work and business we glorify God because we are emulating God's own creative work. 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.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.
Description of Wayne A. Grudem, author of Business for the Glory of God:
Worship, evangelism, Bible study: nobody doubts that "spiritual" endeavors bring glory to our Creator---but what about employment, commerce, and profit? Discover how ownership, productivity, money, borrowing/lending, and competition offer opportunities for imitating our Lord's creative work. Grudem offers solid guidance for avoiding marketplace temptations while simultaneously affirming the God-honoring potential of business practices. 80 pages, hardcover from Crossway Books.
