Financial Discipleship @ Work (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Business disciplines such as accounting. bookkeeping, financial planning. budgeting, forecasting are based on figures, but they represent a collection of decisions which have a major influence on relationships between people within and around our business and on our relationship to God. This book is designed to be a stimulus for reflection on how financial decisions are made in doing business, with a focus on these relationships.

We will look at financial decisions through relational glasses which have two lenses. One lens is focused on God and the other on those around us.

In Part 1, we will look at why finances are a key factor in our discipleship at work, and how we are invited to work in a partnership with the Lord.

In Part 2, we will look at the theological foundations of financial tasks. and the process of the creation. fall and redemption of financial disciplines.

In Part 3, we will look at making financial decisions - God's way, and discuss ways in which financial decisions influence relationships and what effect they have on the health of the company

In Part 4, we will discuss ways in which we can make disciples at work, passing on to others what we have learned from Jesus.

"This book is a comprehensive guide and teaching about Business Finances from a Christian perspective. I think it should be the new standard and a mandatory read for all those who would like to educate themselves in business finance from a Biblical perspective. It provides a biblical framework and criteria for making financial decisions. It gives you all the knowledge and wisdom you noed as a Christian entrepreneur business leader or professional dealing with financial issues."

Wouter Droppers, president Europartners, a movement of Christian business leaders.

Autorenporträt

Peter Briscoe is an Englishman, born in 1950, and studied Industrial Chemistry and Management at Loughborough University of Technology, England. He moved to The Netherlands in 1974 and was asked by his company, Brent Chemicals International, to set up a subsidiary in Holland from 1978 where he was Managing Director until 1986. From 1987-1989, Peter was Executive Director of the Christian Businessmen's Committees (CBMC in The Netherlands.) Typical CBMC activities are prayer breakfasts in boardrooms, hotels and even parliaments; outreach events such as banquets in major hotels to present Jesus Christ to the business and professional people; leadership development 'colleges', seminars and courses designed to motivate business leaders to reach out to others. In 1990, Peter set up "Synthesys" a consulting company specialising in the development and marketing of industrial chemical specialties. When the Berlin Wall collapsed and opportunities to develop business in Eastern Europe opened up, Peter founded and developed Europartners, a movement dedicated to reaching European business and professional people for Christ and helping Christians in positions of leadership in business, politics, and other professions to "go and make disciples in all nations." By 2002 there were local national movements in 28 European countries, encompassing around 500 local groups and some 5000 active co-workers.
