Product Description
Business leaders face the difficult task of reconciling their personal beliefs with the bottom-line demands of their business obligations. Often, it seems like the conflict between harsh business realities and their desire to "do the right thing" pull them in opposite directions. God Is My CEO offers a practical and inspirational source of guidance for achieving a balanced and accomplished life. Readers can learn from businesspeople around the country who are working and living the life they believe in, including Horst Schulze, CEO of The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company and Ken Melrose, Chairman and CEO of The Toro Company. Discussion guides at the end of each chapter help readers reflect on the lessons presented and determine their core values. The paperback edition of God Is My CEO also features a practical business plan that readers can use to integrate people, processes, and profits into win-win situations.

I really like answaring the questions at the end of the chapters...they realy help me learn more about myself.
Uplifting life stories October 12, 2007
This is a very nice collection of life applications from successful individuals. It is more than an "I remember when..." story book but more like several short stories showing God working in their lives.
 Good Airplane Reading, short on substance May 9, 2006

For some earlier, for some later, for some never, but for a lot of business people as we cross 50 years in age, we start to get eternally minded. I saw the book title and thought, wow, I would like to read this. I would like to be sure my espoused beliefs and work life are in as much alignment as possible.
It is a fast read and easy, doesn't challenge you very much. This is what I consider optimal airplane reading.
However, it left me hungry for more. It is basically a series of short stories, but trying to be a good Christian ( or I would think Good Jew, or Good Muslim ) in business is very hard. In the way, the book disappoints, I was entertained, even touched by some of the stories and I believe stories can change behavior. However, I don't think I can honestly say I learned any more about what I can do differently or better.
Glad I read it, don't plan to keep it on my shelves

So often executives check their faith in God at the door before coming to work. Using the stories of 20 influential leaders to illustrate 10 business principles, author Larry Julian skillfully shows that it is possible to integrate your religious faith and your work practices. These men and women successfully run major organizations, and all of them credit their belief in God for their achievements. Although some of the stories are more inspiring than others, this book promises relief from the pressures of the bottom line and freedom from the stumbling blocks that impede success, both temporal and eternal. Each chapter includes thought-provoking questions you can contemplate or use as the basis of further discussions. Julian ends with a step-by-step business plan showing you how to apply all your newly processed spiritual knowledge as a practical tool. Although - given that it is dedicated to Jesus Christ - the book seems primarily directed to Christians, We suggest that any leader who is trying to make a profit, keep priorities straight and motivate employees should take a look.
A Great Book!!! November 28, 2001

For me, this book was truely inspirational, a breath of fresh air. I, (like many many others in society,I'm sure) used to believe that there was little room for God or our faith in the business world. It was just dog-eat-dog, Monday to Friday. Larry Julian shows you just how uninformed that thinking is. He interviews not just average business men & women, but captains of industry. True leaders in their field. And he shows you how these people not only believe in God, but practice their Faith and follow HIS teachings EVERY DAY. It is WHY they are so successful.
For those of you who think they have to choose between God or business, read this book.
