Wayne Grudem's Business For The Glory Of God
One often fails to notice the many opportunities given in business that can bring glory to God. Wayne Grudem writes Business for the Glory of God to show how business is fundamentally connected to bringing glory to God. The book is by no means a complete resource for the Christian businessman or woman, but gives the reader an introduction to some of the very important topics that are relevant in culture. The book is short but is filled with the biblical philosophy and theology in business.
