Doing Business by the Good Book
by David L. Steward, Robert L. Shook

An indispensable volume that shows how to succeed in business by using the Bible and its lessons as a source of inspiration and guidance. In 1990, David L. Steward founded his company, Worldwide Technology, Inc., on a shoestring budget and borrowed money, well aware of the high-risk nature of the venture he was undertaking. Despite the fact that he was a novice entrepreneur, he was certain he would succeed. Steward believed intensely that God wouldn't let him down. Doing Business by the Good Book shares the inspiring lessons culled straight from the Bible, that Steward used to build his privately held billion-dollar company into a global information technology enterprise. In Doing Business by the Good Book, Steward delivers 52 chapters, each accompanied by scriptural passages that emphasize their impact on his personal struggle to build a billion-dollar business. Included are chapters such as: -- Being a Customer-Driven Company "In everything do to others as you would have them do to you." (Matthew 7:12) -- Implementation "Be doers of the world, and not merely hearers who deceive themselves." (James 1:22) -- Praise and Recognition "Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in your power to do it." (Proverbs 3:27) -- Good Leadership "This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you." (John 15:12) -- Consistency "Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen." (Hebrews 11:1)
