Can business activity itself be morally good and pleasing to God? Sometimes, business can seem so shady―manipulating the "bottom line," deceiving the consumer, or gaining promotions because of whom you know. However, Wayne Grudem introduces a novel concept: business itself glorifies God when it is conducted in a way that imitates God's character and creation.

Grudem shows that all aspects of business, including ownership, profit, money, competition, and borrowing and lending, glorify God because they are reflective of God's nature. Though he isn't naïve about the easy ways these activities can be perverted and used as a means to sin, Grudem knows that Christians can be about the business of business.

This biblically based book is a thoughtful guide to imitating God during interactions with customers, coworkers, employees, and other businesses. It demonstrates how your business―and your life in business―can be dedicated to God's glory.

Contrary to the notion that business is inherently shady, Grudem presents a compelling argument that business can, in fact, be a means of glorifying God. He suggests that the various aspects of business, such as ownership, profit, money, competition, and borrowing and lending, are reflective of God's own nature and can be used to honor Him.

While Grudem acknowledges the ease with which these activities can be corrupted and used for sinful purposes, he remains optimistic that Christians can engage in the business world in a way that aligns with God's character. The author provides a biblically-grounded framework for how to conduct business in a manner that imitates God and brings glory to Him.

This book serves as a thoughtful guide, encouraging readers to consider how their business practices and interactions with customers, coworkers, employees, and other businesses can be dedicated to the glory of God. It challenges the perception that business and morality are inherently at odds, and instead offers a vision for how business can be a means of fulfilling the cultural mandate and glorifying the Creator.

In a world where the business landscape is often characterized by greed, deception, and the pursuit of self-interest, Grudem's work offers a refreshing perspective. He invites readers to rethink their approach to business, not as a necessary evil, but as a realm in which they can faithfully steward the resources and talents entrusted to them by God.

Overall, this book provides a thought-provoking and biblically-informed exploration of the relationship between business and morality. It encourages readers to view their professional lives through the lens of God's purposes and to seek ways to honor Him in the midst of their business endeavors.
