Product Description
Many books stress the need to be “marketplace ministers.” An equal or greater number tell us why we should be in marketplace ministry. This book tells us how. About My Father’s Business offers proven methodology for becoming a spiritual leader at work, regardless of position or title. Regi Campbell has more than twenty years experience learning and implementing these strategies in companies small and large. With refreshing transparency, he shares his struggles to save his marriage, build his career, and pursue his mission to have influence for Jesus Christ with coworkers. The result is a practical guide for reconciling the quest for corporate accomplishment with the call to be a disciple of Christ 24/7.
“Regi shows us a path that leads us to love and serve our coworkers while moving them toward their own relationship with Jesus Christ. About My Father’s Business shows us the joy that comes from bringing a kingdom purpose to our life’s work.”
Luis Palau
President, Luis Palau Evangelistic Association
Author, High Definition Life
“There may be no greater opportunity to reach our culture for Christ than through the marketplace. Regi has been there, done that, and he shares his wealth of wisdom and experience. I have the privilege of recommending this book wholeheartedly.”
Ron Blue
President, Christian Financial Professionals Network
“ Regi Campbell hits the bull’s-eye. About My Father’s Business is a practical book that needs to be in the hands of every serious Christian longing to make a difference in their work life.”
Chip Ingram
CEO and president, Walk Thru the Bible
“I highly recommend this book to any Christian seeking more out of his or her workday than a paycheck or a promotion.”
Gary M. Parsons
Chairman, XM Satellite Radio
“For many years workplace and ministry have been viewed as entirely separate, almost like the church and state. Now, as men and women begin to see their workplace as their greatest field for harvest, we’re entering a revival. Regi’s work is a valuable tool for any Christian ready to touch their marketplace for God.”

What happens to your faith at work? Do you struggle to live for Jesus while earning a paycheck?

Story Behind the Book
“I’m a business guy who committed his life to Jesus Christ in my early thirties. As a brand-new, fired-up believer, I wanted to make a difference for God, but business was all I really knew. I did what most new Christians do—plugged into a church, joined a Bible study, and started family devotions. But the office was still an enigma: a place where I felt no purpose, a place where I was just serving my time. I felt thwarted and stalled from doing anything for God there. I’m thankful the Lord showed me that the marketplace is where I am supposed to be. Even more, He has shown me some useful ways to think about the people I work with...and to help them move toward Jesus Christ. I wrote this book to share the road map that has made workplace evangelism and discipleship doable for me.”

More than a typical Christian Book

About My Father's Business is more than a Typical Christian book. It is a discussion of the calling and the lifestyle of "making disciples". As a result it makes the reader deal with issues of our heart like "How much do I really love the people around me?" and "What are the core motivations of my life?". Seeing this book as another book about workplace evangelism is a superficial reading of a book that calls out to much, much more. Campbell's setting is mostly the workplace becasue that is where his experience lies. About My Father's Business is a profoundly challenging book for Christians ready to expand beyond knowing more to following Christ. Letting this book seep into your life will challenge you in new and fresh ways to live in daily dependence on the guidance of the Spirit and to live sacrifically out of the overflowing gratitude in your heart.

This book includes an incredible tool for evangelism called the IMAP. It lined up perfectly with a passion for evangelism God was birthing in me, and as a result it's been one of the most impactful tools I've ever come across. It's helped me see the areas where I'm weak, it's given me consistency in keeping in touch with people, and it's given me vision for what to pray for them for. As I've had a desire growing again to have my time on this planet be all about personal ministry, this has been possibly the most effective tool I've come across to help me do that.

really refocuses you on what Christianity is all about

It seems to me that today's mainstream evangelical Christianity is guilty of putting too much importance on what people SAY they believe, rather than placing importance on what beliefs actually have meaning in people's lives. About My Father's Business, written in an easy-to-grasp style and in terms that members of most evangelical churches will be comfortable with, urges us to return to the essence of Christianity. Campbell explains that as Christians we should focus on loving and building relationships with others (NOT just getting them to believe what we believe.) This is exactly the attitude that many churches (including my own) need to adopt in order to create a positive influence in today's society.
Go ahead and buy multiple copies, (if you have the $) because you will want your Christian friends to have this book too.

I saw this book for the first time at PromiseKeepers and was interested as soon as I cracked the cover. Campbell does an excellent job of explaining his thoughts about bringing Christ to work and walks the reader through the thought process. For most the thought of "evangelizing" at work sends shudders down the spine, but Campbell shows that it doesn't have to be as scary as many of us view it. His approach of meeting co-workers where they are and giving them what they need is refreshing, and is far more akin to wading into the shallow end of the pool than jumping into the deep end blind-folded. This book has helped move me on a path to increased comfort in spiritual leadership in the workplace. A must read for those who struggle with how to keep from checking Christ at the doorstep to work.
