What Does God Know About Business?: Making the right decisions in tough times.

by Nico Van Der Merwe, Connie Nel (Editor), Kevin Pohl (Cover Design)

What does God know about business? is the autobiographical account of a successful South African businessman's conversion, and of his steadfast determination to involve God in all aspects of his business and his personal life. This moving testimony explores the ways in which each of us can bring God into our everyday lives, and touches on such deeply personal and spiritual issues as integrity, adversity, the fear of failure, lust, materialism, pride, debt-free living and burnout. It provides practical guidelines on how to counteract some of these "red lights on the dashboard of life", and is supported by the author's own inspiring experiences of God's influence in his life. Whether you are tired of spiritual mediocrity or are just looking for down-to-earth answers to some of life's many challenges, What does God know about business? will motivate and energize you. This story of one man's journey with God will encourage you to develop the kind of faith that puts God at the centre of your life, both at home and in the workplace.

I really enjoyed What Does God Know About Business and think it's a very good ready for any Christians in the workplace. It's more of a personal testimony than a book about business, but it's filled with great life-principals and very inspiring to me as a small business owner.

Great book.
Refreshingly honest and practical. Inspiring message with lots of take home value. I recommend it for anyone who's calling is to represent Christ in the business world.

Though written by a businessman, this book is not only for business people---it's for anyone who wants to grown in his or her walk with God and how to listen to God for answers to life's everyday issues and questions. I found nuggets of truth in every chapter which challenged, encouraged, motivated and/or inspired me to go deeper in my walk with God. The quotes at the beginning of each chapter, and the story-telling way of teaching kept me engaged in the book and constantly asking how what I read might apply to my own life. This is more than a "good read" -- it's a practical, life-giving testimony.

I read "What Does God Know About Business", and I believe that everything Nico has achieved in his business is only because he went down on his knees, and sought the face of God every step of the way. It speaks volumes about his trust in the Almighty. This book is excellent reading material, and encourages the reader to be submissive in their requests of God. It makes for a wonderful personal testimony, and is a must for those who think the Lord doesn't know much about business - He knows everything, and more.

Very objective without any "plastic" moments. It is true and I know, because I was there. A book you can trust to be true.

“I was given the book by a friend after I asked “when is enough, enough?” at our small group. The answer I did get but I also got so much more after reading the book. Nico’s testimony came over my path at the time God wanted me to see what a personal relationship one can have with Him and the testimony Nico gave made me realize I could have the same relationship with God. I can also not stop thanking God for all my blessings and that he is also looking after the business he entrusted me with. Thank you Nico for your influence in my life, through your book, God brought over my path.”

This is a inspiring book that reminds me that God does great things through ordinary people. If you have felt dry in your walk with the Lord, this book will ignite your passion once again while you are serving in the business community. This is a must read for anyone that wants to move from success to significance.
