Synopsis

Deposits and assets jumped from $5 million to $116 million as Chuck Ripka, a Minnesota banker, started a faith at-work movement in his hometown. What happens when we take God out of the box? In the marketplace, that answer is incomprehensible and the boundaries are limitless!

From the Back Cover

OBEDIENCE--a one-word philosophy that brings about success!

Chuck Ripka is a simple man who has tapped into the power of a limitless God. This is the true story of the cofounder and senior vice president of Riverview Community Bank in rural Ostego, MN, a man who banks on God.

Chuck Ripka's bank opened with a goal of $15 million for the first year. Because he was obedient, the bank's deposits shot to $43 million, exceeding all expectations.

He ignored counsel that told him not to mix biblical principles with banking. Because he was obedient, many situations have had miraculous endings.

A salesman prophesied over Chuck and told him to pray with people. Because he was obedient, souls have been saved and lives have been transformed.

Not only does Chuck share incredible stories, but he also outlines fifteen principles that will change your personal and professional life.

Maybe it's time for you to take God out of the box and see what He wants to do in your life.

From the Inside Flap

Miracles still happen when you do what He says!

Chuck Ripka says, "Anything is possible when you obey God!"

These stories are incredible. The principles are saturated with wisdom for the ages. So sit back, put your feet up, and get ready to settle in for some old-fashioned storytelling.

Here are a few of the fifteen principles that he has intricately woven into his message: -Above all else, God desires your obedience. -When you obey God, He takes care of the bottom line. -Stop praying only for others. Start praying with them. -Don't try to keep God in a box. He has no limits.

Chuck Ripka has learned how to hear God's voice and to get out of His way.

In 2003, the Lord gave Chuck a message: The secular world will call. Early the next year, he received a phone call from the New York Times Magazine.

The faith-at-work story received national and international attention. Chuck has been granting interviews about God and faith in the marketplace to media outlets around the world, including CBS, CNBC, the London Times, Good Housekeeping, and many more.
