"Building spiritual enterprises" is written to inspire and equip a new generation of Christian business people. God has a plan to bring heaven to earth and He is elevating the role of business in that plan. Even though the focus of the book is on business, it also is relevant to building a church, ministry or other enterprises.
It is three books in one. The first section is about building yourself spiritually for business and includes the issues of faith, doubt, success, contentment and hearing from God. The second section is about bring a spiritual foundation to your enterprise and includes the issues of anointings, gifts, vision and spiritual structures. The third section is about building the enterprise and includes the issues of values, culture, strategy and transitions.
