Handbook for Business Leaders Practical Principles in Serving the Common Good This is a vade mecum, a handbook, for business men and women, intended to strengthen the ‘vocation’ of professionals working in an ever-changing and challenging global business environment. The business leader faces a world which is characterised by a complicated mix of factors four of which have fundamentally changed the context of business over the last quarter century: (1) globalisation, (2) new communication technologies, (3) the financialisation of the economy, (4) cultural changes – and, in particular, the challenge of individualism and accompanying moral systems of relativism and utilitarianism. Business leaders, who are guided by ethical social principles, lived through virtues and illuminated for Christians by the Gospel, can, nonetheless, succeed and contribute to the common good. This text offers analysis, practical advice and discernment checklists. ..

When the author found that her role as caregiver constrained her ability to continue itinerant evangelical work, she sought God’s guidance as to what she could do. She didn’t have to wait long. Her daughter Laura was given a book on how to paint stones. Wendy soon recognised the opportunity that this presented. God had given her the ability to paint; now she knew why. She could use stone painting as a vehicle for sharing the Gospel! And so began the Seed Stone Ministry, which has been running continuously for seventeen years. This book traces the beginnings of the ministry in Christchurch, New Zealand, then its development nation-wide before expanding world-wide.

Born in 1901, Witold Pilecki is best known as a Polish Cavalry officer, WWII Polish Underground intelligence operative and resistance leader. In 1940, as the evil of the Nazi regime intensified, he volunteered for a mission which required getting himself imprisoned in the German concentration camp of Auschwitz to gather intelligence and expose its horrors to the world.
