"""Ethics is best learned through quotes and stories, followed by thoughtful discussion and analysis. Here is a book that used this pattern to teach us powerful lessons and insights. It is about time that someone brought God, faith, and the Ten Commandments into the discussion of business ethics. Instructive and inspirational."" --Marianne M. Jennings, Arizona State University ""Honorable in Business provides a welcome addition to the current offerings of textbooks addressing ethical issues in the workplace. Gibson and Augsburger introduce the idea of a Christian worldview and then proceed to demonstrate how such a worldview does not replace or compete with the major ethical theories but rather complements and enhances theories such as utilitarianism and deontology . . . For anyone wondering what difference it makes being a Christian in today's business environment, this book provides thoughtful, engaging answers."" --Richard Kyte, Viterbo University ""This book deals with the topic of business ethics from a biblical point of view. It argues that the needs of employees and customers should be given no less emphasis than profit . . . I recommend this book to people actively engaged in business, to theoreticians able to shape the thought of those in business, and to all who are working toward an economically healthy and just society."" --Lisa Beardsley-Hardy, General Conference SDA World Headquarters"
