Doing God's Business

Christians have likely been struggling with the place of business in the life of faith ever since Paul's days as a tentmaker. How do the spheres of private devotion and public business intersect in a meaningful way?Paul Stevens has been struggling with this question since his earliest working days in his father's steel business. His thoughts in "Doing God's Business" provide lasting and satisfying meaning for marketplace involvement in the light of the Christian faith and tradition. He explores the potential of business as both a location for practicing everyday spiritual disciplines and a source of creativity and deeper relationship with God. "Doing God's Business" should encourage and challenge businesspersons in all segments of the marketplace to more faithfully integrate their faith and work lives.

R. Paul Stevens is the David J. Brown Family Professor Emeritus of Marketplace Theology and Leadership at Regent College, Vancouver, British Columbia.
