Rating: 3 stars
Summary: This book left me wanting for more
Review: As a corporate middle manager and as a Christian, I was intrigued by this slim volume. I was encouraged by its message of servant leadership, but wished for greater depth and detail. I also felt that the author stretched some of the quoted scriptures to fit the chosen topic, to the extent that I was occasionally uncertain as to how the scripture supported the topic.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: All meat, no fillers!
Review: Having read dozens of books, and listened to plenty of tapes on management, this handy book clearly summarized what any "economic ministry" (business) must follow to successfully serve God by serving His people. It's even a better resource for faith communities and their leaders. Get one for your pastors, priests and ministers. It makes a great thank you gift!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Not Worth It!
Review: I was caught by the title of this book and couldn't wait to read it in one sitting since it is quite small. I was so sorely disappointed. There wasn't any redeeming qualities at all.

This book failed in 2 major areas: 1. It gives us nothing of values when it comes to management skills. Very poor in showing any application in what the author would submit as a "management" statement. They would be better qualified as "one liners" or thoughts fom a manager. Though even at that there was no defense or application at all.

2. I had expected to read Jesus's thoughts on management; deep insights from the one called the Son of God; at least a little ray of light from heaven. Absolutely NOTHING!!! This is a blatant example of exploitation on the name of Jesus. It is almost as if the christian market was targeted and yet only light sprinkles from the Bible or a quote would satisfy the target.

I honestly believe that the "manangement" points were selected and then a supporting verse or Biblical statement was searched for to add on and call it Jesus's.

This book is a sham. Maybe I feel strongly about this review because I know the Bible and I teach leadership skills internationally.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excelent insights on human resources management
Review: Modern management in service, commerce, high-tech industry and software industry requires the drive of highly qualified human resources, high skilled persons and for that the human resources management techniques become crucial. This book which brought from Jesus thoughts the best to be applyed to the present business management environment is a must reading for the senior upscale managers.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Outstanding guide for managers and everyone else
Review: Mr. Briner does an excellent job of bringing out some of the basic principles of management and tying them into the teachings of Christ. Very readable and thought-provoking without (pardon the pun) preaching.
