Long time BAM influencer, Mike Baer, offers a series of thoughtful essays on starting a Business as Mission company. These began as answers to questions from BAM students around the world and were collected for this short book. They are not so much how to start a company as they are how a disciple of Jesus thinks about business with and for Him.

Mike is the author of numerous books on BAM, including the seminal work Business as Mission. Other titles include Business as Mission When You're Not the Boss, The Pastor and The Business Person, God at Work (daily devotional).

Experienced entrepreneur, business teacher, and Business as Mission advocate, Mike Baer, provides a simple, step by step process for thinking Biblically about and actually starting a Kingdom Business. The approach of this book is to remain clear, concise, and applicable to multiple settings--expatriates opening abroad and nationals opening in their home country or region. Thoroughly Scriptural and tested by time over thousands of startups globally, this book will provide a great roadmap for entrepreneurs and founders.

Mike Baer is a recognized expert in company culture—not the posters on a wall variety but the kind that unites and unleashes the power of highly engaged people. He call it the “magic” and the “secret sauce.” As companies go through upheaval and change (think mergers, rapid growth, collapse, disrupted industries, recessions, and more) it is vital to keep a strong culture to capture the opportunities that are all around. In this short book based on leading the cultural and people aspects of a massive merger, Baer shares what his team did and what worked (and didn’t).
