Review Quotes:
There is a secret caste system in the Church that suggests ministry is a "higher calling" than business. This is simply bad theology. Alistair Petrie, in his short but powerful book, God's Footprint In Business, constructs a compelling case for the ministry of business. We are all called to be disciples who are disciple-makers, and each of us, with our own unique talent-set, contributes to building the Kingdom of God, each of us being equal in value to God because we are doing His work. Petrie's case for Kingdom business finds that we are at our best when we work together, in harmony, with complementary skills ... and God is glorified in our work.

In God's Footprint In Business, Alistair Petrie has given us a glimpse into the importance of the spiritual realm of business, and its role for success in our work life calling. Alistair brings valuable insights into understanding the unique relationship between generational sins and any open doors that could hinder success in our work - life call.

I have had the pleasure of being a student of Alistair's work for a few years now and it is a book like this which explains so easily why. In a few short chapters he succinctly captures every key thing a Christian business person needs to understand, and take seriously, if they are to lead a truly Kingdom business. If you are a Christian in business, you NEED to read this!

Alistair displays significant insights into the spiritual realities of God's Kingdom in the business realm. He describes with insight the fact that our actions, our unction, our obedience and our alliances significantly affect the spiritual and financial outcomes of our Christian business ventures and the Lord's willingness to come alongside with blessing and protection.

Impacting! Revelatory! Compelling!
God's Footprint In Business is a ground-breaking book for Christians involved in business. Today there is much talk about digital transformation, but what is needed is spiritual transformation.
