As a friend and business associate, I have admired Regi Campbells committed and maturing faith for nearly three decades. In About My Fathers Business, Regis approach is open and nonjudgmental, and his writing is inspirational. I highly recommend this book to any Christian seeking more out of his or her workday than a paycheck or a promotion.

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, were entering a revival. Regis work is a valuable tool for any Christian ready to touch their marketplace for God.

This book is dedicated to my friend and brother Craig Callaway.
It was through his spiritual journey from apathy to excelling
Christian that most of the principles in this book were validated.
And it is because of his encouragement that there are words
on this paper and this book is in your hands.
A man will never have a better friend
than the one he helps find the Answer to life.
And I will never have a better friend than Craig.

FOREWORD

DOING WHAT I DO, I MEET SHARP BUSINESS PEOPLE FROM ALL over the world. And from my involvement with top ministry leaders, I meet people who have a passion to share Christ. In Regi Campbell, you get both.

When my pastor first suggested that Margaret and I start a small group and Regi Campbell and his wife became a part of it, I immediately saw that Regi had both business wisdom and spiritual passion. I knew that he was involved in the lay leadership of our church and that our pastor, Andy Stanley, often sought Regis insight on big decisions. But as I got to know Regi personally, I began to understand why. He thinks clearly; he speaks clearly; he speaks from experience; and theres a ton of wisdom in what he has to say.

But the side of Regi that is even more impressive is his heart for the people that he works with. Heres an entrepreneur of the yeara leader with a lot of success in the business world, asking the people in our group to pray for people on his list. I now recognize that list as his intentionality map (he will give you the details as you read About My Fathers Business). He would ask us to pray for people that he had developed relationships withto pray that God would move them the next step toward excelling in Christ. As the months went on, I gained a very healthy respect for Regis insights and wisdom. Some of the people at my company, the Injoy Group, had also come to know Regi, and we ultimately invited him to help us shape Injoys strategy and plans to help churches and business people to be more effective in the marketplace for Christ. Regi gave us his time because he so badly wants to see business people wake up to the opportunity that they have to influence people for Christ right where they are, every day at work.

If youre a business person and youve been looking for someone to show you what to do next in taking your faith to work, this book is for you. If your husband or wife is a business person, this book will challenge them to get in the game, but in a way that is smart and effective. And if you are a pastor, this book can provide the business people in your church with a track to run on for effective evangelism and discipleship in the marketplace.
