Beehner, John F
True Wealth by the Book: How 100 Inspirational Americans Encountered Character, Moral, and Spiritual Truths
By The Book Publishing, 1999
LIBRARY BIBLICAL PRINCIPLES IN FINANCE
According to author John Beehner, the  Bible offers much more than inspiration. It also reveals secrets of a truly successful life. In his new book, How To Get Rich... By the Book, Beehner takes the three cornerstones of truth from the Bible and applies them to your own life,  demonstrating how they can work for you no matter what your occupation. And How To Get Rich is not a book about making money --- unless that’s your goal. It’s a guide to more positive living, which ultimately enriches every area of your  life. This book can help you if you seek greater peace of mind, want financial freedom, or if you need more joy in your daily life.

Chewning, Richard C., Editor.
Christians in the Marketplace Series Volume 1: Biblical Principles & Business, The Foundations.
Colorado Springs, CO: Navpress, 1989.
LIBRARY BIBLICAL PRINCIPLES IN BUSINESS
These volumes, along with  their companion pair on economics, form a remarkable collection of papers by leading American Christian academics and business practitioners. They should be at the heart of every thinking Christian’s bookshelf on this subject. Little did I  think when I first read them that just a few years later I would meet and work with Dick Chewning in Eastern Europe and again in the United States. It has been a privilege to do so. The Christian student of business is greatly in his debt.  Source: Faith & Work Project (MaineUK) http://users.aol.com/faithwork/fw-1.htm

Selling Among Wolves Audio Seminar
SRI Logic, http://www.sellingamongwolves.com/
LIBRARY BIBLICAL PRINCIPLES IN BUSINESS
We use actual Biblical models such as the life of Christ as summed up by the  Apostle Paul in 7 poignant points, to create a climate of trust. We borrow strategies from the Canaanite conquest to open up new opportunities. We use the 7 questions Moses wanted answers for as a model for a powerful questioning sequence  we call the ‘PAIN INDEX.’ We also glean from the 10 Commandments, the Parable of the Sower, the book of Philemon, and much, much more.

LIBRARY BIBLICAL PRINCIPLES IN BUSINESS;ECONOMICS
This book centers on the concept  that the Bible provides for all nations a specific way of living. This ‘Kingdom’ way of living begins with individuals and personal morality, and then extends outward to include political and economic systems. Socialism, for example, runs  contrary to Biblical principles, and therefore cannot produce happiness and prosperity.
