Praise for Management by the Book

“In this extraordinary new book, Bob Case constructs an entire framework for business management from biblical passages. This is the most thoroughly biblical book on management I have read. It is deep, it is sound, it is weighty. It is worthwhile.”

—Kevin Martin, CEO, World News Group



“Because it is packed full of biblical wisdom, Management by the Book is the perfect tool for Christian business owners. In his book, you can hear Bob’s hard-earned experience and wisdom as he offers tailored insights to the Christian reader. This book will be on my desk as a continual reference guide for Christian business management. This thoughtful read both encouraged and challenged me in my business practices.”

—Laureen Skrivan, President, Wren & Willow General Contractor



“Case’s book reminds me of a fine meal of rich foods. You can only enjoy such a meal if you savor each bite and not rush through the meal. This book has tremendous value, not only to business managers but to anyone in a management position. This book should be used as a Bible study, university-level course study, or sermon series. I consider this a must-read.”

—Bradley Fitterer, Owner, Fitterer Furniture



“Case has written a fascinating book on business filled with ideas from the Bible. It empowers the Bible in the real world and sets the standard for realism and relevancy. Don’t believe me? Bob’s book will fill you with the powers of God’s thinking in ways that have never been done before.”

—J. Stanley Oakes, former President, The King’s College



“Management by the Book is a unique biblical approach to business and people management. Bob uses the prophets, judges, apostles, and Jesus’ own management examples and applies them to our own situation. A great read for any serious-minded Christian manager striving to be salt and light in this dark world. I wish I had read a book like this thirty-five years ago.”

—Tadd Bentson, Owner, Bentson Printing Company
