Leyenda Del Monje Y El Mercader : Doce Claves Para Vivir Exitosamente by Terry Felber

There is a thought-provoking parable that illustrates important lessons about work, finances, leadership, and character. Set in 16th-century Rome, the story revolves around Antonio, who is preparing his 18-year-old grandson, Julio, to enter the family business. Their conversations, supplemented by the twelve success principles outlined in Antonio’s journal, encourage readers to examine their own beliefs on how people of faith can engage in the business world while honoring God.

The principles shared by Antonio, which include “Work hard and God will prosper you,” “View challenges as stepping stones, not obstacles,” “Live debt-free and within your means,” and “Set aside the first 10% to honor God,” are particularly relevant in the 21st-century landscape, where commercial activities are often met with skepticism by believers and non-believers alike.

A book that Dave Ramsey credits with clarifying his own thoughts on the relationship between business and church, “The Legend of the Monk and the Merchant” will sharpen readers’ understanding of their careers, wealth, and accomplishments.
