Behind the Bottom Line: Powering Business Life with Spiritual Wisdom

Book Description

In Behind the Bottom Line, Stephen R. Graves and Thomas G. Addington — cofounders of the popular journal Life@Work— offer businesspeople a much-needed resource for understanding the spiritual factors that have a profound (and often unheralded) influence on our day-to-day business lives. This personal guide shows how biblical wisdom can become a vital and integral part of our work lives and a pathway to business excellence. In each chapter, the authors examine one of the fifteen central themes of business life— power, change, wealth, ambition, ethics, balance, stewardship, partnering, calling, rest, strategy, innovation, entrepreneurship, marketplace grace, and legacy— and explore how spirituality is intrinsic to our professional lives. Throughout the book, Graves and Addington offer powerful, life-changing spiritual insights that can profoundly affect how we approach our life at work.

Customer Reviews:

Excellent resource for those needing to know 'right now'........2006-04-20

If time is a premium (and when isn't it for a student?) this is the book to get. Clear, concise, and to the point. It is student friendly, and definitely gives you what you need to know to pass the course. 'Two thumbs way up!'

There is no "collectible" edition.......2002-04-23

I see someone is offering a "collectible" edition of this book for over $13 (as of April 2002); it is also advertised as being the "UK" edition. This is a book of American grammar--there *is* no UK edition. There isn't any special "collectible" version either--it doesn't come in hardcover, it doesn't come signed by the authors, it doesn't come with an audio tape, it doesn't come with a workbook, it doesn't come with pop-up pictures of the sentence parts. As one of the authors, I know! So if you want a copy, get one of the "normal" ones at the normal price.

P.S. I would have submitted this review w/out stars, but that wasn't an option. So of course I picked 5!

Book Description

Secret places, hidden places, offbeat places, but above all delicious places to eat--at every price range--in the Greater New York City area. Respected food writer and chowhound extraordinaire Jim Leff has loaded the pages of this handy guidebook with edible treasure: a sleek basement sashimi oasis, a Harlem church that invites the public in on weekends for pork chops, and even one holdout--in the mostly unlikely Brooklyn neighborhood--making awesome time machine pastrami sandwiches. Most restaurants profiled are unknown "virgin" finds, but there are also useful new takes on a few more familiar venues.

Written with passion, good humor, and contagious enthusiasm, this ultrasavvy, highly cross-referenced guide is the answer to any chowhound's prayers. But even timid eaters will be sorely tempted to jump on a subway to grab some masterful roast suckling pig in Williamsburg, rich mamaliga in Long Island City, chow fun at the only good Garment District Chinese, or perfect homestyle latkes and potato kugel from a trailor parked in an abandoned lot across from the Brooklyn Navy Yards.

Customer Reviews:

Truly great book!.......2005-09-12

The restaurant selection is wondrous and the reviews are unbiased, unpartisan, and accurate. I have had many wonderful meals thank to this book. Highly recommended.

eclectic gourmet informative, accurate and fun.......2004-11-01

After several trips to New York, I wanted to strike out on my own in search of interesting restaurants. I sat down with this book and a city map, and plotted out likely destinations.

I, the visitor, had the opportunity to act as tour guide for my New York City relatives. At an opportune mealtime, I was able to lead us to a nearby destination, and find a place that made everyone happy.

The Eclectic Gourmet is just as advertised, a collection of good, but off of the mainstream, restaurants that are guaranteed to provide an interesting and often adventurous dining experience.

What a disappointment........2003-11-19

After reading raves from experts I respect like Ruth Reichl, I found this book a total disappointment. Save your money.

Customer Reviews:

Simplistic.......2000-12-22

I was greatly disappointed in this book. The writing style was inconsistent and the layout was visually obnoxious. I mention this because if there was any useful information in this book, the presentation distracted from it incredibly.

The primary points in this book were elementary, and most people could be more creative and productive without this book. I would not recommend this book. If you have a good business plan, have a group of friends read it, take them out to dinner and brainstorm. You will have more fun, and get a better return on investment.

Haven't read it, but this info is readily available and free.......2002-01-05

The mind boggles at the audacity of this author - how do you turn two paragraphs of readily available consumer information into a 97-page book and actually charge people money for it?

If this book helps curb the plague that is telemarketing, then I think it's a good thing, but please be an informed consumer and know that you don't need to pay for this information, nor search far and wide for it.

Just type 'telemarketer' in your internet search engine, and all you need to know - a page's worth - will come up free.

Book Description

In the new unipolar world of globalization, the bargaining power and sense of solidarity of Third World countries have never been weaker. But their shared problems, this author argues, remain a reality which requires political expression. Does the Third World still even exist? What role, if any, can it have in the 21st century’s new topography of power? Roy Ash Narain explores modern Latin American history, with emphasis on the changes wrought in the 1980s and 90s in the context of the continent's wider relations with the Third World and the USA.
