Unconventional Business by Rick Boxx is one of the best books I’ve read on a biblical approach to business. It is short and easy to read and yet it covers the full scope of business management. It doesn’t simply challenge us to manage our businesses in a God-honoring way and counter to conventional wisdom, but it also provides practical guidance on exactly how to do so.
The book teaches biblical approaches to leading your business based on five key principles: develop a God-centered plan; prepare yourself as a leader; cultivate and mature your team; grow the top line; and enhance the bottom line. These five principles provide the framework for the book’s 14 short chapters. Unsurprisingly, the book is biblical — often referencing examples or admonitions from scripture. It is also very practical, often laying out the specific steps you can take to implement the concepts being taught.
For over 20 years Rick and his ministry have been a blessing to me. I strongly recommend this book and Rick’s ministry to any Christians in business.
