Working for God is not just a business book—it’s a testament to the power of God in the marketplace. R.G. LeTourneau, a brilliant inventor and entrepreneur, shares how his deep faith shaped his success. He was known for creating heavy machinery that revolutionized industries like construction, mining, and oil drilling. But here’s the kicker: his approach to business was radically different from what we often see today. He believed that God was the ultimate CEO of his business.

In this book, LeTourneau opens up about the principles that guided him, showing how he built his empire while placing his trust entirely in God. He gives us a glimpse into his life—how he faced challenges, experienced breakthroughs, and always found ways to glorify God through his work. 3 key takeaways from Working for God.

Key Takeaway #1: The Power of Giving
One of the most powerful lessons in the book is how LeTourneau trusted God with his wealth.
He was known for giving away 90% of his income to ministry and causes that aligned with his values. LeTourneau didn’t just talk about faith—he lived it. This story really made me reflect on my own approach to money and generosity. Imagine running a business with the mindset that everything you earn belongs to God, and your role is to steward it well for His purposes.

Key Takeaway #2: Trusting God in Every Decision
LeTourneau was faced with countless tough decisions in his business. Yet, he didn’t rely on his own wisdom alone. Instead, he sought God’s guidance in everything. The book reminded me that no decision is too small to bring before God. From hiring the right people to making major business choices, seeking divine wisdom is key.

Key Takeaway #3: Faith in Action
This one hit home. LeTourneau didn’t sit back and wait for things to happen. He took action, always trusting that God would provide the resources and opportunities he needed. His story encourages me to step out in faith, even when things seem uncertain, knowing that God is in control.”
