This review is from: Devotional Ventures: 60 Inspiring Devotions by Business Professionals for Business Professionals (Hardcover)

I've read a lot of canned and well rehearsed devotionals by preachers and was truly grateful to see someone put this together for professionals who live in a different world. When does the next one come out? Highly recommended.
