God's Guidebook to Business...as Taught by an Angel

God's Guidebook to Business...as taught by an angel is a spiritual business story of Tom and Catherine. Tom operates between confused and stressed about his career. He is Christian, which is not a problem. But it is not really a solution either, for him it is an afterthought. None of this makes him unique for many separate spiritual precepts from work reality. Then one day, while taking a break from the pressures of work, he finds himself at a local coffee shop. Not generally acknowledged as a center for business acumen, this one is where Catherine works, serving coffee and all manners of wisdom. Catherine is playfully humble, patiently firm, spiritually pure and 100% angel. She challenges Tom to recognize the Bible as God's instruction manual for life, inclusive of work; to be used as an operational blueprint. Tom reluctantly acquiesces not so much out of conviction that Catherine is correct, but due to lack of conviction that she is incorrect. The answers prove to be there. What does the Bible teach us about business and career? A lot actually, one might even say everything. Its principles are the foundation of the most successful leaders and organizations throughout history. Its power is not due to being steeped in religious mysticism or even moralism, rather because scripture illustrates how God's Way is a set of actions that lead to success. Whether just entering the workforce or running a company, scripture provides parallels to overlay on today's issues. We tend to focus on miracles and divine intervention, yet it is the physics that God embedded into all aspects of life that often most impact our daily existence. Once Tom, with Catherine's help, understands the principles contained in scripture, life begins to flow. Ultimately, it is simply good business, no matter what your industry or position is. These are not just idle words, they are your life. Deuteronomy 32:47
