Perfect for : Personal Use, Professional Growth

In a nutshell: Written by a father-son team, this devotional type book has a total of 39 topics that have been broken into three primary sections: True Riches (Thinking Biblically about Money and Wealth), Kingdom Business (Your Marketplace Ministry) and Leaving a Legacy (For Christ, His Commission, and His Kingdom). I found that many of the topics really made me think about my values and beliefs and how I wanted to use them - which to me is exactly what a devotional should do. I like to have my thoughts challenged and stretched so I can learn and (hopefully) become a better person. I think this is a very helpful book, but feel that the information it contains can be more easily implemented by people who work in or own private businesses, rather than the public sector, which often has policies regarding religion in the workplace.

Finally a book that helps marketplace people move beyond seeing themselves primarily as financial providers for the church and into seeing themselves as part of an army of Great Commission minded business leaders impacting others and the nations for Jesus Christ. In these turbulent economic times, Marketplace Memos by David and Jonathan Shibley presents a biblical economic worldview and provides sound biblical counsel and insight to help business people prosper and become a powerful force to transform and disciple nations. Marketplace Memos has answers for today's Christian entrepreneurs. It destroys the myth of the division between sacred and secular and business being separate and apart from ministry. This book is truly a work of excellence and can help unleash and maximize the impact of Christian businesspersons in the marketplace. With its breakthrough revelation, we feel it will also be a powerful tool to affect and transform the "business mountain" for the kingdom of God.

Have you ever wondered why you can never find real satisfaction in life? Do you constantly find yourself searching for something that brings genuine fulfillment in life? I've been there too. This book will open your eyes to the one true meaning of why we are here on this earth - to fulfill the Great Commission. Many times we think we have to be a fulltime missionary to carry out God's Greatest Desire, but this is not the case. In this book, Dr. Shibley and Jonathon will introduce you to a Ministry in the Marketplace. They have also presented real and practical principles to get you plugged into God's Kingdom and set you on a path to living a life that is full of satisfaction and excitement.
