Using the logic of C.S. Lewis (from Mere Christianity) that all people agree on common standards; the book then argues that we must find that common standard for business ethics. Ruddell uses the example of the American Republic and the capitalistic economic system (Adam Smith) to illustrate how we can have one standard for an organization while allowing a diversity of ideas among the individuals in that organization. Once we realize that belief plays a critical role in forming our business ethics, then what belief system works most effectively? Ruddell presents a thorough analysis of what the Scriptures teach about business ethics as a model for how faith can (and indeed must) integrate with business ethics.

Corporate America is certainly one of the greatest testing grounds for personal faith and conviction. With an increasing number of believers across the globe seeking to integrate their faith into the workplace, the editors of Life@Work have targeted five key areas in work in which Christians can apply God's Truth. Looking at the topics of Ethics (ISBN: , Rest (ISBN: 0849942616), Calling, Ambition, and Coaching, each book provides relevant quotes, illustrations, principles and life application questions. These books are excellent for individual study or group interaction and discussion.

William Pollard draws upon his spiritual and practical insights––and those of other business and thought leaders––to show readers that principles of faith and smart business practices are not mutually exclusive, but can unite to strengthen corporate culture and lead to extraordinary financial success.

Imagine you are a manager at a large company. You stay current with the latest thinking in business management and leadership. You are up on the trends in sales and operations. But for the wealth of resources available, you haven't found much support in answering some of the most important questions about your business life: How can I manage the tension of living an authentic faith while delivering ever–increasing business results? Is there meaning in my work beyond making a living? How can I understand the world of money and profit in the context of my faith or a purpose and meaning for life? Who's been there before me?

Unlike the religious or faith–oriented books on the subject, Serving Two Masters provides practical insights from people who don't just read Fortune or The Wall Street Journal, but who are quoted in them. Drawn from over forty years of executive experience, Pollard's reflections will speak to everyone who has wrestled with the integration of faith and work as well as provice practical management and leadership insights taken straight from the real–world issues ServiceMaster faced when the firm was recognized by Fortune magazine as the nation's top service company.
