Would you be delighted if, upon pulling into the parking lot of your place of employment each day, you knew you would walk inside and work shoulder to shoulder with Jesus Christ?

Such is the situation in Jesus in the 9 to 5, wherein famed motivational speaker and author Dr. Dennis E. Hensley actually allows you to step into a 21st century company being run on a day to day basis by none other than Jesus Christ, himself. You’ll be there as Jesus hires new personnel, establishes company training, and sets a quality control system in place. You’ll observe as Jesus is asked to judge a matter of employee theft, is defied by his employees about business management practices, and is forced to make plans to hand over his business because of his pending departure.

Along with the scenario of Jesus running a company, this book also provides insightful chapters on life management skills, as drawn from the teachings and actions of Jesus. You’ll be shown how to improve your time management practices, your communication abilities, your goal setting and long range planning skills, and even your sales and outreach talents.
