Almost Finished
First book publication by author Ralph Wilson
Is there a place for Christianity in today’s Corporate America?
After 45 years' experience, Ralph Wilson has observed a steadily changing attitude and environment toward Christianity in the workplace. With thoughtful and reflective observation through his career in Corporate America, Ralph not only presents a logical presentation as to how Evangelical Christians can navigate an increasingly hostile environment, but also as to why it doesn’t benefit businesses to neglect the values and convictions of their Christian employees. Almost Finished describes the challenges faced today by Christians in the corporate workplace and guidance on meeting these challenges. The book also provides a specific message to the leaders of Corporate America. With compelling examples, Ralph delivers a complete case (as only a lawyer could do) to prove the necessity of a shift in the landscape of how America does business today.
Almost Finished is based on Ralph Wilson's nearly four decades experience as a corporate attorney at two large, for-profit consumer services companies. While his perspective is Evangelical Christian, one can readily adapt Ralph's construct in Almost Finished to different personal theological or even religious viewpoints in personally navigating and relating to any organization—in addition to formulating an authentic personal message to leadership like the one with which he concludes the book. I fully recommend Almost Finished as a reliable vehicle for those on such a journey as Ralph's. It will stimulate your thoughts and imagination in the quest for more complete integration of your daily work and personal beliefs.

All Christ-followers who desire to be faithful to their divine calling in Corporate America, should read this book. Ralph Wilson has earned the right to be heard not just because of his decades of experience in the business world, but because of his spiritual sensitivity and Godly wisdom. Ralph writes clearly and courageously about the cultural issues that threaten organizational effectiveness and spiritual morale in the marketplace. He shares practical counsel that encourages believers to remain faithful to their personal values, enhance their company goals, and still “make the teaching about God our Savior attractive” to unbelievers.
