Review 2025.05.009
Reviewers Note: It is the beginning of 2025 and one of the skills I desire to grow in is that of writing book reviews (having never done this before). I am doing this so I can better hone my writing (and reading) skills as I seek to think more critically about the books I am reading. I am sharing on Goodreads for my own personal development. I know this will be something I am always growing in so if you actually read these, please be patient with me as I develop this skill. I will also receive constructive criticism if you desire to help me become a better writer (and reader). I plan to use this disclaimer for the entire 2025 year.

I am not sure what I expected when I added this to my wish list. I know there are a lot of Christians who work and own businesses (compared to Christians in formal ministry). I also know that many of them do not realize that their business is a ministry to the Lord and so this book was written to encourage those people. I have seen my business as a ministry since shortly after I was redeemed so it was not as impactful to me as it could have been. This is not a shortcoming of the book, mind you.
If you do not understand the role business plays in the Kingdom of God and you are interested then this is a good book to read. But I think the real value of this book is in using it in conjunction with the online community the authors have built around it. This community is free according to the website. While I am considering a consultant, mentorship, or some kingdom minded group like this, I am not quite ready to take that leap. Maybe in the next few months I can do that.
Until then, I’ll just keep reading.
