The idea for this book came when I heard a businessperson say that it was impossible to do business and maintain biblical principles. He believed that it was necessary to remove his ‘Christian jacket’ if he wanted to succeed in the business world. If this is true then no successful Christian entrepreneur would make it to heaven.
It is possible to do business without compromising faith.
Christian entrepreneurs are heroes especially in today’s cancel culture. Every day they are confronted with situations that challenge patience, judgment, faith, and ethics.
This book addresses concerns regarding a faith-filled approach to business using examples and situations from the Bible that are relevant and helpful.
Topics include:
| Overcoming fear | Making choices |
| Pride | Finance |
| Debt | Marketing |
| Wealth | Planning |
And many more.
Each person is different and the lives we lead are not the same. Each life should have meaning but that meaning differs from person to person even though the experience or underlying precepts are similar.
A meaningful life has purpose. It keeps us excited everyday. It is knowing that you are making a difference in your world and in other people’s lives. It is knowing that your life is a vehicle for change and improvement. It is using your knowledge, talents, and skills for the benefit of others and for things you care about. It is knowing that you are making things better.

Paul was flogged, stoned, cursed, chased, and shipwrecked, but each day he would awake with one purpose: to go out into the world to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ. He put his body on the line time and again to accomplish his purpose.
