REFLECTING GOD'S CHARACTER IN YOUR BUSINESS

The Reflecting God's Character in Your Business book is primarily for business leaders who want to align their leadership and corporate cultures with Biblical principles. The chapters should also guide pastors who recognize that they have a God-given responsibility to inspire and equip business owners and managers. The book focuses on showing how leaders can triumph over the temptations and darkness that surround them every day by relying on the Bible as a victory manual.

Scripture inspires leaders to shine light into darkness by following biblical principles and reflecting the character of Christ. This light disinfects festering sins, such as greed, pride, anger, envy, lust, gluttony, and laziness. The book emphasizes 6 dimensions of God's covenantal character. Each chapter gives examples of common sins in business organizations, shows how sinful behaviors have roots in the seven deadly sins, and inspires believers to reflect God's character whenever faced with opportunities to rise above the sin.
