5.0 out of 5 stars Every Self Employed Person Should Read This Book!!, December 25, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Business By The Book Complete Guide Of Biblical Principles For The Workplace (Paperback)

Although it is written from a Biblical perspective, EVERY self employed person needs to read this book. It is packed with common sense business principles which, in this world-gone-mad with secular humanism, most of us have lost sight of. It doesn't matter what your faith is... even an athiest would greatly benefit from the business principles taught in this book. It turned my little mom-and-pop business, and my life, around to the direction it should have taken in the first place.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Practical Advice for the Business Person, November 24, 2004

By	Michael Taylor "Michael Taylor" (Indian Trail NC) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Business by the book: The complete guide of Biblical principles for business men and women (Hardcover)

Business By the Book is an excellent reference not only for the self-employed, but anyone engaged in business.

The book is divided into 3 main sections: Conducting Business by the Bible, Critical Policy Decisions, and Your Business and Your Life.

Some of the more helpful chapters for me were:

1. Personal Lifestyle Goals.
2. Biblical Business Goals.
3. Your Business and Your Spouse.
4. Hiring and Firing Decisions.
5. Management Selection Decisions.
6. Business Tithing.
7. Retirement.
8. Implementing God's Plan.

Whether self-employed, a manager, church or ministry staff person, or engaged in business, you will benefit from Burkett's sound biblical wisdom.

Highly recommended!
