Brief Reviews of some the books
Although most of these business books have been written with businesses that are not yet well computerized or highly technological, the same principles hold true for online businesses that still have strong interpersonal contacts and relationships with customers and clients.

My Father's Business is perhaps the business book that truly encapsulates the Christian principles of ministry. It is to be remembered that before Catholicism and Protestantism, Paul the apostle, earned his keep in ministering to the Gentiles. His business and profession was tentmaking. So as not to burden the Christian households to whom he ministers and preaches the gospel, he engaged in the tent making business. This business book, "My Father's Business", tells us that even though we are engaged in business in the online marketspace, we can, like Paul the Apostle, also witness to others as a Christian, and make our small online business a venue and context for ministry and mission.
