Truly Amazing! A must read!

This book will change the trajectory of your life and the way you think about doing business and living life. Lonnie explains in so many ways and so eloquently the potential for impact we can have as leaders in this world. The potential for impact is much greater than we could ever imagine. Lonnie’s book will give you a whole new paradigm shift in how you think about yourself and the platform God has given you in life to create change in this world right where you are. You do not have to become a pastor to impact lives. In fact, we have greater potential for change right where we are in the market place day to day. This of course is not to diminish the huge impact our great pastors are having around the world. Reading this book will change your whole perspective in your day to day walk in the market place.

Fascinating Case for the Role of Business & Faith

I was surprised by how much I loved this book and couldn't put it down.

As someone who works in the field of impact investing and also leads a church I'm personally very interested in the intersection of faith and business. I’ve heard most of the various positions on running socially responsible businesses and on Christian based business concepts. But Beyond Business taught me many new things and like any great book it defied easy classification. I did try to categorize the book, ready to dismiss it. Was it the prosperity gospel? No. Was it conscious capitalism? No. Was it exclusive Christian propaganda shaming other worldviews? No. I stopped trying to dismiss the author and found myself learning a lot.

With a theological degree from Harvard and a career in social business, I was humbled by the author's expertise and teaching. The author makes a very strong and controversial case throughout the book that business plays a critical role in serving humanity. And this service to humanity through business is at the core of God’s ideal plan to make this world a better place and was actually the direct message of Jesus. In fact, he argues that a lifestyle serving others through business is the true church, not a nice stone building you visit each week. The author backs up his proposition with very specific examples that make his argument quite compelling. This is a must-read for anyone interested in entrepreneurism with deep purpose and the natural intersection of business, impact, and faith.

I’ve already given out copies to other leaders in this space.

Total game changer

This book will challenge your conventional understanding of not only your business — but also your life’s purpose. It helps unlock your personal potential to impact your community.

This is not a superficial analysis, nor a modest attempt to “tweak” some aspect of your business. It is a total paradigm shift and offers a vision where business owners can leverage their businesses for the greater good.

I highly recommended this book for any entrepreneur, and especially those who want to leave a positive legacy.
