In our highly secular age, it's almost not surprising to see God or Jesus left out of a supposedly prayer-centered statement. In a dissenting opinion to a church-state case in 1984, Lynch v.

Have you connected the spiritual disciplines to how you do business?

The Future of Bibles Begins
Is it possible to build 7-figure businesses across multiple industries? Can you channel your entrepreneurial spirit to build an unstoppable Christian business for God's purposes? Dr. Ron Eccles says yes and shows readers how in “The Unstoppable Christian Business,” where he shares seven steps to a seven-figure business.

Ron is a serial entrepreneur who has built multiple successful businesses over many years. He shares his decades of business insights and learning in his international best-selling book which is $4.95 for a limited time.

But Ron does more than show people what they need to do to make money. He wants people to reach their full potential as Christ followers and not just go through the motions for the rest of their lives. His instruction addresses the spiritual, practical, and personal needs for Christian business owners.

Many business books offer advice based on what the world values, which is wealth, fame, and recognition. And Ron does coach people to grow a seven-figure business. However, his primary goal is to make sure that people stay focused on the purpose that God has given them in business, which is to make disciples and glorify his name. His foundation is based on Mark 8:36, “What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?”

Ron challenges readers to look at whose standards they use to measure things by. Is it based on God’s standards with an eternal focus or the self-focused standards presented by the world? The baseline for success should look very different for Christian business owners compared to non-Christian owners. “The primary purpose of business is to make disciples. The second is to make massive profit,” said Ron.

Throughout the book, he encourages readers to examine how they currently operate their businesses. He also shows people how to have a shift in focus to store up those treasures in heaven rather than earth. And he shares how to be a good steward of whatever blessings God provides in this life.

We are all created with a purpose that only we can uniquely fill. “In order to operate in that calling, we must be submitted to the Lordship of Jesus,” added Ron. This goes beyond what we do and how we behave on Sunday and needs to integrate into our whole lives - both personally and professionally.

If you are a Christian business owner and you're ready to start building a business with kingdom purpose order, order Ron’s international bestselling book today during this limited time offer. Learn how the spiritual disciplines apply to Christian business owners and gain a sneak peek of what the eighth step is about.
