Product Description
Product Description
Every Business Is Gods Business. The notion that labor for profit and worship of God are now, and always have been, worlds apart, is patently false. The Early Church founders were mostly community leaders and highly successful business people. The writing of the Gospels was entrusted to Luke, a medical doctor; Matthew, a retired tax collector; Mark, the manager of a family trust; and John, a food supplier. Lydia was a dealer in purple cloth. Dorcas was a clothes designer. Today, more than ever, the heart of our cities is the marketplace. Yet the perceived wall between commercial pursuit and service to God continues to knock down that wall-and build the foundation for an unparalleled marketplace revival. Only then can we extend Gods kingdom to every corner of our world.

Pardon the cliche, but this is a must read, April 23 2007
By Eats - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Anointed For Business (Paperback)
I've read some pretty terrible books on this very topic. Anointed For Business, however, is different. It is an incredibly easy read, yet at the same time very liberating. Pardon the cliche, but it is just so true: every Christian needs to read this book. As I got deeper and deeper into the chapters, I felt a very heavy burden of guilt being lifted off my soul. The Lord has set me free through this book, and through Ed Silvoso, has given me a renewed purpose in life. I really can't stress enough how important this book is to any Christian even slightly interested in business - or even "full time ministry" for that matter. Every person that reads this book is delivering a heavy blow to satan's deceptions and attempt to strangle the kingdom of God out of our most important aspects of society.

A Different Perspective on Business and Wealth, Mar 27 2008
By Richard E. Beck - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Anointed for Business with Study Guide: How Christians Can Use Their Influence in the Marketplace to Change the World (Hardcover)
I came across this book while burning some time in a Tampa Christian bookstore last Summer. After I read the blurbs on the back and skimmed the book a bit, I decided to buy it.What I found interesting is how the author portrays Christians, Jesus and wealth. I think many of us "traditionally" think the apostles and Jesus where generally poor. I think this again comes from "traditional" thought of wealth being "evil."
Wealth in and of itself is not evil. Do we see our identity in our wealth? Do we see it as a gift from God to be shared trusting He will replenish it? Does wealth control us?
This book showed me Jesus and the apostles actually had earthly wealth and great spiritual resources Why wouldn't they? The apostles were with Jesus, the son of the living God incarnate, who created everything.
I also find the author puts out a challenge to take God into the marketplace. I agree with him. Too many Christians leave their Christianity behind; they mistakenly believe it has no place in business. I believe the business world is a fertile field for Christians.
I would highly recommend this book.

Walking the Talk Christianity, Nov 12 2007
By Deanna E. Macdougall "Deanna MacDougall" - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Anointed for Business with Study Guide: How Christians Can Use Their Influence in the Marketplace to Change the World (Hardcover)
Ed Silvoso zeros in on the missing link between knowing the written Word and living it. He brings home meaning and purpose in our everyday lives and how we impact our society in the workplace. What I liked most is that it puts Christians in all walks of life on an equal footing with those considered the "full-time" Christian workers. Christians are all called to be full timers for God and every workplace becomes our parrish, a holy calling. Silvoso, is not heavy in theology, just clear and practical. He hits us where we live today. I recommend this book to everyone who desires a more productive lifestyle for God.
