The Christ-Centered Company: 37 Biblical Business Habits to Build a Thriving Company That Honors God and Blesses the World

Abstract

Most working-aged individuals (85%) are employed in for-profit companies. Unfortunately, many Christian business people are tempted to embrace business practices that fail to glorify God. In The Christ Centered Company, Darren Shearer seeks to help Christian business people develop mature companies centered on Christ and His Word. According to Shearer, Christ-centered companies are “value-making, profit-producing, and law-abiding” organizations that spread God’s glory through the practice of 37 Christ-centered business habits (p. 3). The author devotes a chapter to examining each habit. They are categorized according to seven major topics: corporate purpose and culture, marketing and customer care, accounting and accountability, people management, business law and conflict, risk management, and philanthropy.
