Book Description

January 26, 2005
Many books stress the need to be “marketplace ministers.” An equal or greater number tell us why we should be in marketplace ministry. This book tells us how. About My Father’s Business offers proven methodology for becoming a spiritual leader at work, regardless of position or title. Regi Campbell has more than twenty years experience learning and implementing these strategies in companies small and large. With refreshing transparency, he shares his struggles to save his marriage, build his career, and pursue his mission to have influence for Jesus Christ with coworkers. The result is a practical guide for reconciling the quest for corporate accomplishment with the call to be a disciple of Christ 24/7.

“Regi shows us a path that leads us to love and serve our coworkers while moving them toward their own relationship with Jesus Christ. About My Father’s Business shows us the joy that comes from bringing a kingdom purpose to our life’s work.”

Luis Palau

President, Luis Palau Evangelistic Association

Author, High Definition Life

“There may be no greater opportunity to reach our culture for Christ than through the marketplace. Regi has been there, done that, and he shares his wealth of wisdom and experience. I have the privilege of recommending this book wholeheartedly.”

Ron Blue

President, Christian Financial Professionals Network

“ Regi Campbell hits the bull’s-eye. About My Father’s Business is a practical book that needs to be in the hands of every serious Christian longing to make a difference in their work life.”

Chip Ingram

CEO and president, Walk Thru the Bible

“I highly recommend this book to any Christian seeking more out of his or her workday than a paycheck or a promotion.”

Gary M. Parsons

Chairman, XM Satellite Radio

“For many years workplace and ministry have been viewed as entirely separate, almost like the church and state. Now, as men and women begin to see their workplace as their greatest field for harvest, we’re entering a revival. Regi’s work is a valuable tool for any Christian ready to touch their marketplace for God.”

Pat Gelsinger

Author, Balancing Your Family, Faith and Work

Story Behind the Book

“I’m a business guy who committed his life to Jesus Christ in my early thirties. As a brand-new, fired-up believer, I wanted to make a difference for God, but business was all I really knew. I did what most new Christians do—plugged into a church, joined a Bible study, and started family devotions. But the office was still an enigma: a place where I felt no purpose, a place where I was just serving my time. I felt thwarted and stalled from doing anything for God there. I’m thankful the Lord showed me that the marketplace is where I am supposed to be. Even more, He has shown me some useful ways to think about the people I work with...and to help them move toward Jesus Christ. I wrote this book to share the road map that has made workplace evangelism and discipleship doable for me.”

This review is from: About My Father's Business: Taking Your Faith to Work (Hardcover)
After I came to the realization that living a Christian life is abut others I still struggled with incorporating this view into my daily life, especially my business. "About My Father's Business" is an easy read that challanged me with an easy step by step process of seeing others as Christ sees them.
The principles in this book have change the way that I see people and has already had a significant impact on my business. Whether a new believer trying to grasp what it means to be a Christian, or a life long believer trying to live for God this book is a practical guide to living a life that will produce eternal results. This is a book that you will buy extras of to give to friends.

5.0 out of 5 stars great evangelistic tool!, December 14, 2005
By 
Josh J (Atlanta, GA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: About My Father's Business: Taking Your Faith to Work (Hardcover)
This book includes an incredible tool for evangelism called the IMAP. It lined up perfectly with a passion for evangelism God was birthing in me, and as a result it's been one of the most impactful tools I've ever come across. It's helped me see the areas where I'm weak, it's given me consistency in keeping in touch with people, and it's given me vision for what to pray for them for. As I've had a desire growing again to have my time on this planet be all about personal ministry, this has been possibly the most effective tool I've come across to help me do that.

4.0 out of 5 stars About My Father's Business, May 11, 2005
By 
This review is from: About My Father's Business: Taking Your Faith to Work (Hardcover)
There are two key words in this book: intentionality and relationship. Regi Campbell, author of About My Father's Business: Taking Your Faith to Work, challenges readers to be intentional in helping themselves move to the next level in their walk with Christ. To help readers reach their goal, Campbell has developed an intentionality map with five columns, A through E, with A for Apathetic and E for Excelling as a Christian.

Campbell then suggests readers pray, asking the Lord to bring people to mind that He wants us to be in relationship with. As each name comes to mind, place it in one of the five columns without too much thought or evaluation about apathy or excelling.

Then each day scan the names and ask the Lord who you should pray for and in what other ways you might be involved with them. It could be a phone call, a meal, sharing an article or a book, playing a round of golf, etc.

For Campbell it is about developing a relationship in advance of the gospel. Or rather it is living the gospel through the development of a relationship with others. Campbell's contention is that more people are turned off to Christianity by people who proclaim a message of love and restoration that they do not demonstrate in their own lives. Thus any challenging statement becomes a reason for ending the relationship. Campbell believes that relationships should be developed that can grow through challenges, including challenging conversations.

This is not an easy book to read, but for those who take Christ's command to go and make disciples of all nations, this book lays out a clear path for making a difference in people's lives.
