Business Proverbs: Daily Wisdom for the Workplace

Summary: This Book is Badly Marred
Review: Every once in a while, a book comes along that rises triumphantly above the sea of mediocrity and provides stunning insight, a deep well of wisdom, and brilliant counsel. This book is not it. What you will find in Business Proverbs, however, is a full scale assault on the sanctity of scripture. In his zeal to wring some type of business application out of every last verse of the Bible, Mr. Marr abandons the KJV 1611 version and uses whatever version he thinks might fit with the topic of the moment.

To say that Mr. Marr takes liberties with scripture would be a gargantuan understatement. He doesn't just take the scripture out of its context - he twists, mutilates, manipulates, obfuscates, tortures, stomps and (if necessary) gives it an atomic wedgie in order to drive home his point, which is always rudimentary and, more often that not, rather inane. As the former CEO of the fourth largest export/import company in America, Mr. Marr inexplicably failed to recognize the need to export this epistle to the nearest refuse depository.

Summary: Full of Insights on Biblical Ways to Behave in Business
Review: Steve Marr has been an inspiration to me to conduct my business affairs by the book--God's Book. He's got an uncanny way of analyzing everyday business problems--from a leader's perspective or a worker's point of view--and presenting a course of action that is solid both business-wise and God-wise. This book resource reflects that good sense with page by page of helpful perspectives on ways to address common business issues and challenges. Each page delivers pratical advice with a Scriptural backbone. I highly recommend you get a copy for yourself if you desire to conduct your business activities with wisdom from the Bible. I also enjoy his daily email full of similar nuggets: (...)

Summary: Focuses to much on getting rich and twists God's proverbs
Review: This Book fails to realize that religion should not be used to make money for personal wealth it should be used instead to help others. I was very disapointed. This book downplayed charities and looked down on the average worker. It tended to support rich people or those with many workers under them. It was not original at all most of the work was just taken from proverbs from the bible and twisted into the theme of making a quick buck. Please don't buy this book donate to charity instead. I'd like to know why Steve Marr is trying to make a profit off of religion.

Summary: Hyprocrite
Review: This book is unoriginal and uncreative. It just takes words from the Bible and puts them in different words. Anybody could have written this book. I wish I could give it 0 stars. I use to know Steve Marr and he has treated his employees very harshly. He is not a Christian businessman. He only wrote this book to make a profit. He does not practice what he preaches. How can he write a book on how to run a business if he can't run his own?
