NANCY REECE, senior consultant and executive coach, The Human Capital Group Inc.

Too often I hear well-meaning Christians struggle between doing good or being successful in business. Dare to Succeed reminds us we dont have to choose. Living well and doing good is an attainable goal, and a business run with honesty and integrity is the quickest path to doing both.

DAN MILLER, author and life coach

If you havent found Gods career calling on your life, this is the book for you. If you have found Gods career calling for your life, then this book is also for you. Joe has written a book that is practical and applicable for all who are discovering Gods calling and for those who want to implement this calling in their business and career.

GLEN CASADA, Tennessee State Representative

Having attended the CEO (Christian Executive Officer) Fellowship that Joe Greene founded, I consider him a mentor. Joe taught me that as Christian business leaders, we should strive to apply biblical principles at our places of business from Monday through Friday. His book, Dare to Succeed, is a compilation of valuable advice and remarkable insight from one of the most influential Christian business leaders of our time.

MING WANG, MD, PhD, director, Wang Vision 3D Cataract and LASIK Center, Nashville, TN

It can be done; Joe Greene did it. He operated his company on biblical principlesand it prospered. Not only that, Joe took those principles and trained hundreds of Christian business leaders to do the same. Those of us who have experienced Joes powerful instruction firsthand celebrate that this teaching is now available to a wider audience. Joe is a fine man of God; you will be inspired, encouraged and equipped to serve God through your business for His Glory.

SCOTT HARRIS, missions minister, Brentwood Baptist, Brentwood, TN

In a world full of well-meaning but ultimately hollow human advice, it is important to be reminded of the power of Gods Way in bringing joy into our leadership, work, and life. Joe Greene really takes us to the heart of the matter!

BOB FISHER, president, Belmont University

Most of us live disconnected lives. Our career is in one place and our faith is in another. Most of us find it difficult, if not impossible, to pull the two together into a coherent way of life. Joe Greene shows us not only how to keep our faith and our careers in their proper relationship, but he helps us understand how our faith can provide energy and focus to our careers. The resulting success is not only good for us as individuals but transformative for our companies as well. Joe has written an honest and challenging book about leadership and faith. Its an inspiring read for all of us who want to be successful and not lose our souls in the process.

DR. MIKE GLENN, senior pastor, Brentwood Baptist, Brentwood, TN

Joe Greene dared to practice what we preach. In Dare to Succeed, he outlines the biblical principles on which executives can operate their businessif they dare! Most of us know the principles but lose them somewhere between idea and execution. Joe not only lays out the principles for all to see, he provides the real-life examples of how God is faithful when we dare to follow Him. Joe challenges each of us to Dare to Succeed, Gods way. If you are a leader, this book will teach and inspire you to lead by faith. Read it, if you dare.
