This is a great extension to Anointed for Business, which I have been implementing on a daily basis since reading it 5 years ago. The lessons learned from others experience is encouraging and empowering. Ed's fluid way of writing and style for making it simple to follow the steps to success is truly a blessing. I look forward to implementing these additional tools in my daily walk so that I am able to fulfill God's plan for my life and be a useful tool in His hand.

This review is from: Transformation: Change The Marketplace and You Change the World (Paperback)

This book will change your thinking of what the church is and what it should be doing! Praise God for what He will do inspite of our religious systems man has put in place. I love the exposition of the Word to show what Jesus commissioned us to do! It is very logical and should be sound doctrinally to many Christian denominations that want to follow Jesus and Him alone in absolute surrender of self to impact the world for Christ.
