The Business as Ministry Series
Four volumes.
One voyage.
Each volume is a companion for a different leg of the journey — from theological foundations to daily formation, from the workbook to the prayerbook. All four are available on Amazon KDP.
The Business as Ministry series by Dr. Eric Z.M. Ma is the first four-volume framework to integrate BaM theology, missiological practice, organizational management, capital formation, and devotional life into a single coherent system. Volume 1 lays the theological and managerial foundations. Volume 2 shapes the weekly rhythm. Volume 3 provides formation exercises. Volume 4 devotes the voyage to God through 52 weeks of prayer. Together they form one calling: Soli Deo Gloria.
