This book encompasses and embodies all of steps, stumbling blocks and successes that spiritual entrepreneurs find themselves facing as they walk out their business careers.

This book is not for everyone. If you are not tuned into God's way of conducting business and personal accountablility, read something else.

My overall rating of this book is beyond excellent. I am on my second reading.

This book is another wonderful addition to the growing list of titles written by Laurie Beth Jones. All of her books have been life changing for me, and this one was no exception. The idea of the "spiritreneur"---a person whose highest gifts are succesfully used in the workplace to promote their deepest spiritual and personal beliefs, is tremendously relevant in today's society. I especially enjoyed the format, which features a short section for each individual idea with questions for application at the end. The book cover is beautiful, and the idea that Jesus should be a roll model for entrepreneurs helps us to look for a life of joyful and satisfying work. I highly recommend this book for anyone who has to work for a living!

I had been on pins and needles waiting for this book. I was not disappointed; in fact, it was even better than I had anticipated. It is destined to become a best-seller because I already have a list of at least 2 dozen friends and family members that I want to buy it for - and I don't think I will be alone in feeling this way. This is a 6-star book.

Laurie Beth Jones has been one of my success mentors for years. Her wisdom is clear and eloquent - but more than that it is right on! She has every right to invent her own word "Spiritrenuer" (spirit-ra-nur). This book has already helped my to see that I need to get to know myself even better so that I can serve others in my business better. I guarantee that if you read it you will be a changed person - it's that incredible. Like her other books, I can see that I will want to read Jesus, Inc. again and again to get the full impact of its inspiration.

Laurie Beth covers all of the proactive bases: smart thinking, system thinking, futuristic thinking, and positive thinking. If you are truly seeking the kind of success and abundance that makes your life 100% livable - you must read this book. Many of her ideas are found in SUCCESS BOUND, another book built on learning how to live a proactively life that is God centered and fulfilling.

Everything that I have put into practice that Laurie Beth has recommended in her books has worked. She helped me to find my major purpose in life. It has been one of the most important keys to my success. My mission statement now reads "My mission is to learn, live, and teach the principles of proactive thinking in order to help bring abundant life to all." When I finished writing it, it completely changed my life and gave me new energy to pursue what I knew all along to be the right thing for me. It helped me to become "Dr. Proactive" and has brought me success by focusing on serving others using my God given talents.

You will find that this exciting book becomes a part of you. Don't hold back - let it happen. In fact, I plan on spending 10 to 15 minutes every morning for the next several days focusing my thoughts on the truths of this book, thereby allowing them to seep deep into my subconscious mind. If you do this too I guarantee God's wisdom will most assuredly bring you the success and abundance you deserve.

Enjoy Jesus, Inc. and your new proactive and successful life!

I bought this book for business purposes, yet found it changing my personal life too. This book speaks directly to your heart! I have discovered ways to be a better business owner, wife, family member, friend, etc. The wisdom and life-experiences packed in this book make it hard to put down. Not only is it hard to put down, but I want to read it over and over again to make sure the principles are being implanted in my mind and spirit. Laurie is an earthy writer who doesn't try to please everyone or play the politically-correct game. She tells it like it is! And she fully understands that no other man but Jesus has changed so many lives and is still doing so today!

I love Laurie Beth Jones, so I may be prejudiced, but this book was inspiring and encouraging. Laurie is a very focused, simple writer. You can read her books like a devotional, each day reading a chapter, chewing on it, and contemplating how it will look in your daily life.

I loved this book. I have recommended it to friends who are already in business for themselves and those just about to make that first step. This book was so inspiring to me because it addressed the emotional aspect of starting a new business that I have not seen in the other business books I have read. I loved that she introduced each phase of business development and had lessons suited for each phase. It was almost like I could gauge my own growth by how well I understood each lessons. I highly recommend this book, it has been a blessing to me.

I see reviews that are the opposite of what I'm writing and question if people have lived the start-up adventure. Now more than ever inspiration is needed to understand the tests that you will face along the way. Not being an entrepreneur is not an option for those that have truly caught the spirit, this book is a fantastic way of reflecting upon work from the perspective of your Christianity. For those who believe the worlds should not blend, this is still an inspiration for hope through the difficult times. And religion is just a basis for hope when the going gets tough regardless of your beliefs.

Shameless capitalism at it's lowest! It doesn't deserve 1 star, but negative stars aren't allowed. People should read the Bible if they are interested in how to conduct their lives righteously. The Scriptures are not a recipe for creating earthly wealth. Ms. Jones is way off base in attempting to convince people that financial success is scripture based. Ms. Jones, my Bible talks about God's followers being pilgrims and strangers on earth. Christ had no where to lay his head and he knew nothing of being incorporated! If you want a good business book, look elsewhere. If you want religious/life direction, just read your Bible.

Words simply do not express the waste of time this book is. I cannot believe I even looked at it.
