From the monthly archives:
I will be in Thailand for a week or so and won’t have access to email or phone. I am excited about the trip, particularly because I get to see Oma. Oma is the mother of an old friend of mine.
She is an older Korean lady living in Thailand helping women escape the sex trade. She is a wonderful and witty person who is making a difference in the world. In addition she feeds me very well and I am sure will make her famous (and secret-recipe) mango and pineapple Kimchi for me!

The Midwest Book Review gave THE GODS OF BUSINESS a great review today. They wrote that:
Written by international business expert Todd Albertson, MBA, Ph.D., The Gods of Business: The Intersection of Faith and the Marketplace is a very straightforward introduction to the basic guiding principles of the world’s major religions (Confucianism, Shintoism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Sikhism, Christianity, Islam, Judaism, and Secular Postmodernism) and how those principles affect individual adherents, particularly in the realms of commerce and ethics. The Gods of Business spells out the a condensed yet balanced portrayal of each faith in plain terms, immediately accessible to lay readers, and is enthusiastically recommended for anyone preparing to embark upon business ventures among those of different faiths, or simply seeking to quickly grasp a better understanding of how religious diversity shapes different culture’s worldviews. “Jewish ethics are summed up in the Ten Commandments and in the philosophy of ‘an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’ The latter sounds harsh today, but it was an enormous advance on the take-no-prisoners ethics of the societies that surrounded the Jewish people in the days of Moses. The non-Jewish principle of the time was a life for an eye, and if I cannot kill you, I will get a member of your family. This was the whole basis of feuding, which was widespread even in the West until recent history.” A ‘must-have’ primer for anyone unfamiliar with basic tenets of world religions in today’s era of globalization.
