Donkey Business: Commerce with a purpose

by Peter J. Briscoe

Overview

Donkey Business is a challenge to Christians in business to look at their business in a different way. God has not only called us to share our faith on Sunday with our fellow believers, but especially with those whom we meet in the dark depths of the business jungle, where we are sent out as “sheep amidst the wolves.”
Many people think that being a Christian and doing business are two different worlds. Christian businessmen are often accused of being holy on Sunday and not wholly true the rest of the week. 
In this book, Peter Briscoe helps connect our Christian walk with the daily challenges of business.

The donkey is a metaphor for an enterprise and the book explains how the donkey, the business can be used by God to bear fruit in the marketplace. The book describes how we can 'tie our donkey to the vine' so that the business will be connected to the true vine, Jesus, and bear fruit!
