Faith, Compassion and the Challenge of Business

The book provides practical advice on how to run a competitive business with a Christian mindset. Around one in three Australian charities are faith-based, and this same ratio is reflected in charities globally. There are enormous challenges for these leaders whose roles combine a faith and business mission. In this book, Rev Keith Garner shares how he successfully tackled the challenges. With an introduction by Rev Tim Costello AO, this book is also a practical guide to all business leaders who seek to bring their faith to their day-to-day leadership. Keith encourages these leaders not to separate the two - faith and business - but combine them to realise success. The book comes on the eve of Keiths retirement at the end of December 2020, after 40 years as a faith and business leader, including 15 years as CEO and Superintendent of Wesley Mission. During those years, business leaders, social sector leaders, and charity leaders have regularly sought Keiths counsel on the challenges they face in combining their faith with the running of a competitive business.
