5 of 5 starsNot Your Average Business Book, October 31, 2000
Reviewer: A reader from Dallas, TX USA
The Fourth Frontier is a phenomenal book with an equally phenomenal premise. The authors challenge readers to re-think our view of the workplace as being compartmentalized from all the other facets of our lives and instead, to view it as a vital, integral part of everything else we are and do. This book powerfully and adequately addresses the issues each of us face everyday on the job. Each chapter begins with a uncanny illustration which opens your mind to the principles the authors are attempting to communicate. And, unlike many other business books, this one is good all the way to the end. Every company in America ought to make this required reading for all of their employees. It's outstanding and will be one of the most enjoyable reads you'll have this year!

5 of 5 stars Join the movement, October 13, 2000
Reviewer: A reader
Addington and Graves hit the mark with their exploration of the faith and work intersection. This is a must read for believers in business and/or those wishing to connect their spirituality with where they spend the majority of their time- the marketplace. Whether you are a Fortune 50 CEO or a recently graduated college student, the message and content contained in the Fourth Frontier will catapult you to a new level of understanding and integration regarding your Life@Work. I recommend this book highly.

5 of 5 starsFirst it was TQM ... now it's GOD!, October 13, 2000
Reviewer: Tom E. Pryor (see more about me) from Arlington, TX USA
Stephen Grave and Tom Addington have done a wonderful job of throwing down the gauntlet to born-again Christians to be the salt and light the business world so direly needs. This is a "what to do" book, not a "how to". But nonetheless, the book's message is a fresh message for a tired world. I am a small business owner who openly witnesses his faith in Jesus. But The Fourth Frontier woke me up that I'm not the "very, very" person God wants me to be, e.g. very good in business and equally very knowledgeable about the Bible.
