What is Goodness? The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines goodness as, “the quality or state of being good” (Merriam-Webster online edition). There are many examples in text showing what goodness is in the eyes of humans. The story of Job from the Bible is a good example of goodness.

The Christian Bible may be one of the most influential pieces of texts ever written.

Introduction Business for the Glory of God persuades one to view business in a different light. There are many views, both positive and negative, one could take on business.
