O knjizi
And if you too, dear reader, are thinking about starting a business, this book will guide you and help you discern whether your idea is truly an inspiration from the Lord—or simply a product of your own human desire for self-fulfillment and personal success. If you are already an entrepreneur—regardless of what stage your business is currently in—this book will offer powerful encouragement on how to place your venture into the hands of Jesus Christ. You will learn how to direct your business decisions and entrepreneurial steps in full surrender to Jesus and the will of God, so that they become His decisions—an entrepreneurship that builds the Kingdom of Heaven on earth.
Ivana Dasović, Entrepreneur
I believe that in this book you will find answers to key business and life situations from the perspective of Catholic spirituality. The book offers its readers a completely different way of looking at questions such as: How do you make ethical decisions in business? How do you maintain integrity in a competitive environment? How do you cope with failure? How do you balance business success with family life? And how do you develop trustful faith in Divine Providence, even when the future is uncertain.
Dr. Duško Radulović, PhD, entrepreneur
The author invites us to cultivate spiritual values and to reject negativity and destruction. Entrepreneurship is a realm where God can be glorified—when one is humble, listens to the Lord, and allows Him to be the planner. One’s business must be founded on justice and integrity. Therefore, every person is called to choose Jesus in their entrepreneurial venture, to surrender to Him and let Him be the leader of their business. Success is guaranteed when we are surrendered to God’s will. Jesus loves all entrepreneurs who are committed to righteousness and truth. This is why all entrepreneurs are called to put God first, because only then can they remain on the right path.
Prof. Vitomir Zečević, PhD
