Jesus CEO: Using Ancient Wisdom for Visionary Leadership [Paperback]

I became a born again Christian last year and have read the Bible 3 times as well as over 16 books and videos on the subject. I now study the Bible for hours everyday because I just get so excited getting to know God. I have never been this excited about anything in my life. I prayed for God to point me in the right direction because I ask him to use me in anyway he wanted so I could become one of his best students. I knew He wanted me to lead others to Him, but I was not sure as to how He was going use me in doing so. I learned to listen and wait and that He will answer when He knows I'm ready. I also learned that the Bible is the only real truth we can count on.

I'm also a business owner and have been for over 16 years in network marketing. I deal with hundreds of people teaching them how to improve their lives. I am always given great inspirational books from people who have taught me, but after being born again, I became very careful as to what is being taught in some of these books.

I picked up Laurie's "Jesus CEO" by accident when in a bookstore. I was looking for another book on management that came highly recommended but I had some bad feelings about it. The information I did know about that book sounded good but when I checked on some of the teachings in it, it was not always in line with what the Bible teaches. But I was willing to get my own copy to read and study it to form my own opinion.

The store manager said he had a copy of this book but he could not find it. While he continued to look for the book, I caught the title "Jesus CEO" out of the side of my eye. At first I continued with the storeowner looking for the book I came in to purchase, but I kept feeling lead to go back and pick up "Jesus CEO". When I did and began to read just some of the chapter headings, I knew right away God lead me to it and tears came to my eyes. I was so excited and told the storeowner I found something better and could not wait to get home to read it.

Ever since I read and studied God's Word the Bible, I knew all the answers anyone could ever ask were there. It takes time. And the study of it will never be completed until Jesus returns. But everyone needs to do this. God has used me to reach some people and they are now reading the bible as well. I was writing things down as I was studying the Bible so I could used it in my training seminars to help people learn how to live and build their own business from home. "Jesus CEO" has been just the book I was looking for. When people wake up and get Jesus' message quickly with "Jesus CEO", it encourages them to go back to their bible to get the whole story. What a great way to witness for Him. God is so Great!!! Jesus was and is the greatest teacher of the entire world if only people would go there first before buying any other books. Sometimes it takes a book like Laurie's to wake people up. If only more businesses were conducted this way. WOW!

I'm so glad the book I went to purchase could not be found. I know God has lead me to Laurie's book and I will use it to lead others as well and I know it will result in them going back to their bibles to get the whole story!!!! For I believe there is only one teacher for how we conduct our lives. Out of all the business books available that I have read over the last 17 years, "Jesus CEO" comes the closest to the Bible and in fact, encourages people who have not read the bible to start reading it. For we all know the truth will set them free as well!!!!

I'm looking forward to reading all of her books and conducting classes based on Jesus' teachings. THANK YOU JESUS CHRIST FOR KEEPING ME IN YOUR DIRECTION. AND THANK YOU LAURIE FOR JOINING JESUS CHRIST' ARMY.
