Reviews

The author, John D. Beckett, 05/13/98

How I learned to integrate my faith and my work.

Instead of grinding it out until Friday and living for weekends, I discovered how my work as a manufacturing executive could be filled with meaning and purpose. The key for me was to integrate my work and my beliefs.

Jeffrey H. Coors, President of ACX Technologies writes in the foreword: "John has captured the essence of what makes a company a principle-based business."

Kenneth H. Blanchard, coauthor of The One Minute Manager says, "John Beckett believes that truth properly applied produces results. Loving Monday is all about his business journey as a principle-based leader. Reading this book could make a difference in your life."

I believe the lessons I've learned apply whether you work at a deli or head a Fortune 500 company. Loving Monday is a book for everyone who wants to succeed in business without selling out.

A Christian approach to business and the workplace.

When Peter Jennings and ABC News did a story on John Beckett's company, they found something surprising. They discovered a company that had become a living example of integrity and excellence in the workplace--by using the Bible as a guide to business.

Now John Beckett explains how his company uses the same time-tested truths that have guided individuals and civilizations for thousands of years--but applied to today's high-tech, fast-paced, market-driven world. This book brings life together: work, belief, value, truth, character and joy. Here is a book for everyone who wants to love their work and succeed in business without selling out.
