Book Cover & Preview Text
Can an ancient document, as the Bible, still be relevant today as a source of knowledge and guidance in the high tech world of 24/7 news broadcasts, twitter, email, iPads, internet search engines and cell phones? The answer is yes! The lessons of the past are relevant today. Most modern communications methods are just a means to flood us with information. They do not give the direction or the time proven knowledge that the Bible does to guide our personal and business conduct. The flood of information and communications can be detrimental if it clogs up our minds with information that adds little value to our life. We need to keep clear minds that can focus on where we are going in life and use the best practices that the Bible offers to help us get there. In Romans we hear that the scriptures are an important resource.
Ro 15:4 For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope

About the Book
Where do business leaders turn for advice to improve their leadership skills? Many successful leaders like Dan Cathy, President and COO of Chick-fil-A turn to the Bible. Speaking at Trinity College in Illinois, “Cathy discussed how scripture dictates Chick-fil-A’s business plan.”
Few people are fortunate to have experienced mentors guide them on a path to be successful leaders with principles that are consistent with their Christian values. This book presents time tested leadership guidance that has worked for hundreds of years, and is still relevant in today’s high tech, fast-paced world. It provides the root stock knowledge from which leadership skills can grow and flourish for both new and experienced leaders. The book links its lessons to scripture. It encourages us to apply the lessons both at home and at work.
