“I highly recommend Peter Tsukahira’s book – My Father’s Business – to all Christians and especially those who are working in the business field. This book will encourage you in your area of expertise – its message being that no matter what your calling may be, you can shine for Jesus Christ in that place. You may be the only aspect of Jesus that others see in the world and your light can shine the brightest precisely where it is “business as usual”. In this book you will learn what Jesus meant when He said that He was about His Father’s business. We all need to be about our Father’s business as we follow Him.” – Dr David Yonggi Cho (Senior Paster, Yoido Full Gospel Church, Chairman, Church Growth International)
For me, this book was a practical and foundational pillar upon which I could build my day to day business principles and values.
Besides a strong basis from the Word, Peter also relates many personal experiences and other testimonies on how Kingdom values will eventually turn out for the best.
Romans 8:28 - And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. (NKJV)
I like that the book is not legalistic ( eg. You MUST do this, the RULE or the STEPS must be followed). So really it is a matter of the conviction of the heart and soul to adopt these practices. And everything is backed by scripture and life experiences.
I have learned that one must really have a CORE DESIRE for anything he wishes to accomplish. Otherwise it is really not so important and will probably not get done in the end.
So this book is really for people who really want to be able to reconcile doing business or working in the marketplace (corporate world) with godly principles.
We want to be the salt and light in the world, but not become of the world.
