Managing a business?

Not only does the Bible impart God’s plan for our salvation, there is also plenty of good instruction and counsel on managing a business.

Fifty years ago there were virtually no books on the subject of managing a business, today the bookshelves cover seemingly every aspect of management. Does the Bible have anything to say to business owners?

The range of Business by the Book studies goes beyond the ten commandments and biblical maxims. They provide a step-by-step study that looks at how business should be run according to the Creator of all management rules: God – the purpose being to help you trust in the Lord in your business and life. Based on the Bible, the range of topics covered include:
 
God’s ways of conducting business are different:

• Ownership
• Core values
• The Bible on business planning
• Teamwork
• Partnerships
• Organisational issues
• A calling
• Our purpose in business
• Jesus on leadership
• Leadership principles
• Seeking advice
• The Bible on debt
• Debt collection
• Giving
• Hiring
• Promotion
• Communication
• Dismissal
• Pay decisions
• Biblical principles for paying staff
• Marketing
• Honesty of leaders
• Integrity in marketing and sales
• Discounting decisions

Testimonials

"Business by the Book is the handbook for any Christian who seeks to understand what the Bible says about operating a business from a Biblical basis. It was a very important contribution to my foundational understanding of God’s viewpoint on business."
James Shand, UK Christian Business Leaders

"What would Jesus do…in business? If every business person applied the Biblical principles taught in the Business by the Book, it would change the business world as we know it. It has revolutionised the way I do business with my team, my suppliers and the marketplace."
