The Bible.

The best business book ever

You hear me right. I believe the best business book ever written is the Bible. While the Bible is an old book, it’s a good book on business.

What The Bible Says About Business

The Bible lays out the story of God, His creation, His son, and ways to live out our lives. The Bible also gives us clear directions on how to do business.
