GOD'S BOTTOM LINE
Mentoring with the Spiritual Challenges in Business
(A fictional adventure)

By Tim Bock and Jon Trott

Excerpt:
Chapter One

Jacob looked up again from his table toward Everybody's Coffee front door, wondering where Tim was. Not an auspicious way to impress me, the dark-haired thirty-seven year old told himself. Late for our first meeting.

A pretty, dark-skinned waitress approached, but Jacob's shake of the head sent her on past.

Why had he agreed to this? A meeting with Tim, a guy he did not know, who had been introduced to him by his pastor, Ramey Alvarez.

Jacob's personal faith in Jesus Christ, only a year and a half old, seemed at first to comfortably fit with his Oak Park company's operation. Even before embracing this new faith, Jacob operated Corevex Software with a sense of ethical responsibility to both his customers and his small group of employees. He paid taxes and tried to be a good neighbor. He contributed to local causes and even a couple of overseas philanthropic outfits, including one that reconstructed homes in Haiti. Regardless, his faith didn't suggest adding much, other than his occasional personal contributions to Chicago-area evangelism efforts and those small overseas missions.
