Want to see what God can do with a business if you let Him? then read this book. Forget the MBA or the high powered (big 6 firm) consultant - I know because I was both of those. Reading books such as "God Owns My Business" and then realising my own experiences of seeing what God did with some of my former clients, have totally changed my outlook.

This book challenges business leaders, as well as local church leaders to truly place God first. Too often, as business and ministry leaders, we tend to focus on our own personal agendas. This book shares the heart of a man who sincerely desires to place God first in every arena of his life. Mr. Tam's life is not broken into such divisions as business, personal and religious. His life illustrates a true integration of every aspect of being coming together under the Lordship of Christ. This book should be read by anyone who desires to live out the will of God in their life.

This book is an eye opener - not only for the self employed, but for all of us. Stanley Tam guides us through his process of Christian growth; in doing so he reveals God's own perspective on our stewardship-over material as well as spiritual things. After reading and contemplating it, I fear very few of us could claim to truly "walk in Jesus steps"!

I feel sorry for the first reviewer. I will admit that I have not read the book, (I had to give stars to write this) but I have met Mr. Tam and heard him speak. I was inspired by him and I wish I had his courage. He is not a lunatic. He has proven that a person can be a Christian and be successful in business. His speech was riveting and I would expect the same from the book.

I first became aware of Dr. Stanley Tam when we received one of the flyer from his (God's)company. On the front of the flyer was a testimony about an attorney who for some years had been searching for God. Dr. Tam was able to tell him how he could find God.
I was so impressed that he would have a testimony on the front page of his advertisment that I sat down and wrote him a letter telling him how much I appreciated this. We live in a day and age when so many Christians are so afraid to let anyone know of their belief in God; so afraid they will offend someone; so afraid it will diversly affect their business. Here was a man who wanted everyone to know of his faith!! How refreshing.

At the time I wrote him, I was also collecting stories for a book I was putting together. This book would have stories about what God is doing in peoples lives today. I asked his permission to use the story I had seen in my book.

He was gracious enough to respond. He sent me a copy of his book and gave me permission to use any part of it that I chose to.

Yes, he sent me an autographed book free of charge. I do not consider this being a lunatic. I consider this being a very generous man who as a part of his ministry gives away his books.
The book has so many stories about how God hears and answers prayers. If anyone is dissatisfied with their life and is not sure what to do about it, I would strongly recommend they read Dr. Tam's book.

And, yes, I follow in his footsteps, too. I, too, have given many of my books away and will continue to do so!

I would recommend this book highly to those who are business owners and Christians. Mr. Tam sets forth a good example of one called, and if one heeds that call, what they can do as a servant of Christ, and as a businessman or woman. He deals with those issues common to business owners, faith, inspiration from God, stewardship to name a few. I am finishing reading a book on Anthony Rossi, and to this point, I would recommend this book over Rossi's life. Both served God, but I believe this would be more of an inspiration, and you would gather more wisdom from it. Personal opinion....

Any Christian wanting to go into business for him/herself should read this book first. Learning to listen to the will of God for your endeavor is a MUST for all believers. We have to be good stewards of what God has blessed us with. He DOES own our business!

This book was given as a gift to me when I visited a small business for a market analysis project. It was the first time someone had presented the idea that a person can have a successful career not at the expense of pleasing God. While few would be called to Tam's same ministry, many people can be changed by the message in this book.

Great read for any business person. A great example to young Christian Business persons.
Highly recommended.

A church library was giving away books that were not being checked out, and I picked up an original hard copy of this book from 1969. I had it a few years before reading it, and sure wish I had done it sooner! I am so pleased to see that it is still available! It is a priceless treasure, and you don't need to be interested in starting your own business to love this book, either.

Stanley Tam understands EXACTLY the relationship we are to have with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and his story is incredibly well told. This book is an enjoyable read, and is excellent for anyone, but it is especially wonderful for explaining what true Christianity to someone who has not experienced it or has been burned by a bad Church experience. I was so encouraged. Please read this book, and give a copy to a friend (you'll never part with yours)!
