Sometimes business can seem so shady—manipulating the “bottom line,” deceiving the consumer, or gaining promotions because of whom you know.</p> <p>But Wayne Grudem introduces a novel concept: business itself glorifies God when it is conducted in a way that imitates God&rsquo;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&rsquo;s nature. Though Grudem isn&rsquo;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.</p> <p>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&rsquo;s glory.</p> <p>“A thoughtful review of the purpose and meaning of business and a fresh way to look at honoring and glorifying God in doing business.”<br /> —C.
