 Wonderful Survey of Views on Ethical Business Practices
If you want to get a better handle on the philosophy of ethical business practices, I recommend this book. It is a collection of essays on business and ethics using Christianity as its framework. Modern secular arguments that religion does not belong in the workplace are quickly negated by the introductory example of Benedictine Monks who, it is stated, were the first to establish structured business practices and created wealth. The essays go on to point out that modern capitalism owes much to the ethics of Christianity for creating an environment that allows business practices to flourish and wealth to be created. In todays politically correct worklife I find it confusing to know how to resolve faith at work. In reading this book I learned that I do not need to leave my faith at home to engage in business, and in fact I can be better at both when I understand the supporting role each plays.

 A collection of thoughtful and thought-provoking essays
Expertly compiled and edited by Oliver F. Williams (Associate Professor of Management in the Mendoza School of business and Academic Director of the Century for Ethics and Religious Values in Business at the University of Notre Dame), Business, Religion, And Spirituality: A New Synthesis is a collection of thoughtful and thought-provoking essays by diverse learned authors concerning the meeting point between commercial workplace responsibility and personal spiritual values. Multiple faith perspectives are presented offering a uniquely balanced and informative amalgamation of a variety of issues directly relevant to physical world conduct and the spiritual realm considerations. Business, Religion, And Spirituality is strongly recommended reading for anyone concerned with the interaction of business principles and religious values, between pressing marketplace requirements and the demands of the conscience.
