Most Businessmen and Businesswomen Are Struggling to Find One Thing in Their Life at Work - Peace.
I Can Provide a Roadmap to Peace at Work.
Dear Christian Business Person,
Not all that long ago, I was in a similar position as hundreds of thousands of my Christian Brothers and Sisters. I was working for a medium sized company and frankly, having a tough time figuring out how to make sense of how to live out of my new-found Christianity.
I thought that the result of living out of my Christianity at work would bring an internal peace. But honestly, it just wasn't happening for me. Sure, it was easy for me to put on a good face on Sunday morning as I sauntered into my local church. Or, as I was talking with Christian friends and acquaintances outside of my job.
But WORK was a different matter.
You see, it wasn't that I didn't want to "make a difference for Christ" in my job. After all, most of the people there were my friends and I genuinely wanted them to have the same thing that I had recently found. But, it was HARD. Really hard. And, I didn't know how to make it work at work.
Most of us are in a work environment for about 2,000 or more hours per year. (Compare that with the 100 - 200 hours spent at "church".) And, if your environment is anything like mine was, it isn't the type of place or the type of people that make it easy to share your faith.
So there I was, with a burning desire to be a good example, a good deal of "head knowledge" on what I should be doing, and a good deal of guilt that I wasn't doing it. I didn't come to a more complete understanding of how to live my life at work the way that I should until I started to study another guy at work.
Now, most typical inspirational stories at this point usually introduce "Super Christian" who leads the new believer from darkness into light by being the perfect example. Well, I'm not like most people, because I found clarity in the life-at-work battles by studying a guy who was doing most things wrong.
Plus, he was my Boss. And he was an absolute tyrant with an ego as large as a Greyhound bus and insecurities to match. I didn't study him in order to emulate him, or so that I could get ahead in my job. I studied him because I had to at first (he was my boss).
Eventually I figured out that I was supposed to be studying him so that I would know the right thing to do. Which, in most cases, was exactly the opposite of what he was doing.
In fact, I studied him so intently that I ended up writing a book about my experiences with him. In the book, I contrasted what he did and said with what the Bible tells us about leadership. I call the book Bleedership, Biblical First-Aid for Leaders and it has struck a chord with thousands of Christian business people in North America.
Studying a Negative to Get to a Positive
I don't recommend this method of studying a negative to get a positive to anybody. There are too many pitfalls in this approach and you can really get off track (or never get on track) by studying a negative influence. However, through this experience, God provided to me some serious insight into life at work.
Don't get me wrong, I don't have it all figured out yet, but I continue to uncover Biblical principles that have really turned my life around. Many of the thousands that have purchased my book have discovered some of those same principles and how to apply them to their work life.
Even with all the success of the book, I am still convinced that God is not done with me and this idea of Bleedership yet. He has convinced me clearly that while the book is helpful to many, it still is just a book. It is highly likely to be put on the shelf in pretty short order and over time many of principles that were so meaningful to the reader will be lost.

Here's what one of our Bleedership subscribers has to say:
Dear Jim, Thank you so much for allowing me to be a member of your Bleedership Group. I received your initial packet with all of my bonuses and I was blown away! Your book, “Bleedership” was fantastic and very easy to read. It amazed me at how many areas of my life it applies to. It has definitely helped me in my leadership skills. The interviews on CD are awesome too! They have really helped me in looking at my work as a place where I can live out my faith. They have even given me some great ideas I can use in my business. In addition, your Bleedership Life Planning Assistant has really had an impact on me and the way I look at the time in my day. I thank you for this – and my family does too! Thank you mostly for your monthly newsletter. Each month I get several key “take aways” that I can use to be a better Christian worker and to improve my leadership skills at work and at home. It really speaks to me. I have studied a lot of programs on leadership and yours is unique and different. It is so easy to “talk the talk,” but when it comes to actually living it out when our livelihood, careers and family are on the line it can be very difficult. It is so refreshing to have this great material to “drink from.” I highly recommend membership in the Bleedership Group Kind Regards, Derek Freund |
to any Christian worker! If you are serious about your faith, this will really challenge you to grow!

Here's the deal. I want to reach as many people as I can with the message of "peace and meaning in your life at work". Unfortunately, with a book, it is often purchased and either not read or put on the shelf and never cracked open again.

Send me $5.57 to cover postage and handling and I'll send you the following

Try my newsletter, read my award winning Book and listen to the CD interviews, enjoy the Cornerstone DVD, listen to the two CD's from me, and then judge for yourself the value of my Gold membership.

What People Are Saying.........
“Bleedership uses Biblical examples to demonstrate that God has a plan for us, even at work in the secular world, and that His plan can be accomplished best when we have a respectful regard for one another. It deftly shows the wisdom of being obedient to the Biblical commands: 'Love your neighbor as yourself' and 'Love your enemies'. This book might be the best of the bunch as far as the newest submissions to PK are concerned - I highly recommend it!"

“You can pick up Bleedership at any point and relate to the real-life story of how we can be better examples.

"Thanks again for the wonderful book that I read Saturday and Sunday. It is a great book! Congratulations and God truly is using you to help leaders lead from a more Biblical perspective. In reading the book, it was a reminder to serve in leadership roles as Jesus did. I have always tried to do many of the things you mentioned, but it really focused in on key elements of leadership with more compassion, understanding, listening, inclusion, etc."
