I honestly didn’t expect for this book to be that good, since the version I borrowed from the library is poorly assembled with a horrendous cover and font. Pleasantly surprised. Many insights into management with the perspective of Proverbs. Really good.

A really good book that will help shape your thoughts in the work place. Too often Christians compartmentalize their work lives from their spiritual lives. We then tend to listen to the latest management advice and forget to check advice to the standard of Scripture.

I had the privilege of studying under Dr. Zigarelli during my MBA at Regent University. This book was part of his syllabus and re-reading it after 20+ years work experience is refreshing. The wisdom is timeless and he is a careful exegete. I highly recommend it.
