Rated: B-
Love the works that Laurie Beth Jones does with her books -- using scripture and biblical principles to demonstrate just how practical God's Word truly is. In some cases, it is a stretch either bending a verse to support a business principle or bending a business example to fit a verse. Intent is good. Not sure all the wisdom may not have a counter principle that could also be biblically supported. Good read with some notables.

I thought that I could power through this for the sake of my professional development.
...then Laurie used the word genitals completely out of context.
I didn't learn much in the first quarter of this book other than how to apply business models to Jesus' teachings and that the author is a mediocre storyteller.

One of the best books I've ever read about management...it's simple and has great flow; as each chapter unfolds a new story about Jesus and what we can learn from his qualities as the greatest leader to ever walk the earth. If you work in the business world with people and especially if you manage others in a Team environment; I recommend this as the first book to read regarding management instruction......next of course is the One Minute Manager!

I liked parts of it. The author and I come from a different starting point, but there were some nuggets to be gleaned.
