I'm not interested in business or the bible, so this book would not be applicable to me, but it seems it can be interesting and helpful to someone who is.

I don't generally read self-help or religion-based books so this one has a double whammy on it.I have to admit, though, that creating a spiritually-based book to help buid businesses seems unique. Thanks for the insightful review!

I agree with the rating of this book since it seems as if the author needed to give a more throughout explanation for his principles. I also think that many small business owners in particular can benefit from many of the ideas put forth in this book. Many Christian businesses have been in the news for using their Christian faiths to deny services to people which is wrong, but values like wisdom can benefit everyone regardless of religious views.

I think your insight into the lack of personal advice/anecdotes by the author is helpful. I'm sure it's difficult to balance succinctness with depth, but it sounds like this work could have benefitted from more stories concerning the author's personal experience. Thank you for your review!

Thank you for sharing your reading experience. You clarified very well the approach to the subject, while one may believe that there will be personal positions of the author, you confirm the opposite. I'm glad to know that it is a very accurate and interesting book for the right audience.

For a book with a few pages, your review gives me insight on how much you got out of the book you read. Great job at summarizing without spoiling it.

I wonder you did a review for 13 pages book, Author Jones argues that Christian principles are necessary for running a successful business. I couldn't agree this statement other than that everything like exploring ideas of wisdom, intent, character or faith was superb. Jones book is an efficient guideline for real business.. Rated perfectly.

:) I am glad to read that the book offers concise steps to take in achieving the advice shared. I find such books much easier to absorb than those that live it up to the reader to take action. Thank you for your review!

I don't mind business books, but I do mind that this heavily relies on religious context. I find these kinds of books to be particularly narrow in view. It's a pretty short read, so no sludging through text but won't be a practical read if you actually want to know about business.

From a sampling, this seems like an interesting but short advice book that uses Christian lessons to help the reader become successful in business. It might be worth a second look. Well done.

Since the book is targeted for Christian audience, I'll skip this book as I am not a Christian. Otherwise this book has fascinated me and I would've loved to read it
Thanks for the detailed review.

This looks like a useful asset for a Christian starting a business or looking to improve their business using lessons from Scripture. This isn't the type of book I usually look for but since it's a short read, I'll give it a go. Thank you for the informative review.

This reminds me of those books in spiritual and wellness shelf section. Those thin books but bestsellers? I'm only not sure which Christian principles is necessary to run a business, as long as your employees are not abused and your business doesn't profit off slavery and doesn't scam people. I'm curious about the ten nuggets Jones wants us to swallow, I just hope the principles aren't faux Christianity.

I can only imagine how the author would connect business ideas with Christian principles. As it contains only 13 pages, I think I'll give it a go. Thanks for the detailed review!
