Author, Peter Ressler pictured with New York City Firefighters. From Worthwhile Magazine, May 2005 What People Are Saying About Spiritual Capitalism "Spiritual capitalism is not an oxymoron. The Resslers make clear that you can pursue purpose and profits, make money and a meaningful life as well. Read this book and be inspired." —MARK GUNTHER, Fortune staff writer and author of Faith and Fortune "One of the best books I've read on the principles of human life and how to live it - put into this incredible story. You just want to hug everyone in it.” —JIM MIRENDA, Managing Director, JP Morgan "A Landmark on Wall Street."—DEBORAH ITALIANO , VP, Morgan Stanley "It's a perfect hit...Nothing short of masterful." —BECKY ALLEN, Visionary Writers On Purpose “As Peter and Monika Ressler so eloquently write, spirituality and good business practices can go hand in hand, while the pursuit of profit is not inconsistent with an individual’s ethical duty to serve the community. I recommend this book to all who set high objectives for both.” —New Jersey Governor, JON CORZINE, Former Chairman of Goldman Sachs “The guidelines set forth in this book have the power to positively change the face of business as we know it today.” —STEVEN MNUCHIN, Chief Executive Officer - Dune Capital Mgt, Former Partner Goldman Sachs “Like the courageous firefighters on 9/11 who seemed oblivious to risk and determined to save lives, Spiritual Capitalism: What the FDNY Taught Wall Street About Money by Peter and Monika Ressler asks us to look beyond the immediate financial success of a person or organization. The power of giving and the power of sharing only enhances our self worth and gives meaning to the essence of our lives.” —MARTIN SHAFIROFF, Managing Director - Lehman Brothers “Finally, someone has put a true meaning to the tragedy of 9/11 and the sacrifices made by 343 New York City firefighters.” —PETER GORMAN, President - Uniformed Fire Officers Association “After reading this book, I want to buy a copy for everyone at my firm.” —JIMMY TAMMARO, Senior Managing Director - Blaylock Partners “Your treatise of spirituality and covenant are a breath of fresh air in our hectic lives. September 11, 2001 exemplified the sacred covenant New York City Firefighters have with each other and the public we serve.” — STEPHEN J. CASSIDY, President - Uniformed Firefighters Association “This book should be a mandatory part of every Graduate and Undergraduate business school curriculum.” — ROGER GORDON, Former Head of High Yield Research - Goldman Sachs and Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette "The world of capitalism is being called to protect the life and property of the global community. A must read for anyone in the working world.” —FDNY Chaplain, Fr. CHRISTOPHER KEENAN, OFM "As someone who's helped tens of thousands of Americans reach for the American dream, Peter and Monika's book Spiritual Capitalism makes us remember why the dream is so worth pursuing." —DAVID JAVDAN, Former General Council to the U.S. Small Business Administration "First, your book is truly a rare, rare gem. 9/11 will not be old news for a long time to come. And your book is not only one of the best things that's come out of it, it's perhaps one of the best things that could come out of it. I think it's a timeless communication, a classic. But not least among them is how courageously the authors speak, frankly, simply, and firmly laying down laws of the heart and soul and total reality to people who are used to rationalizing all kinds of real "sinning"--as in the true meaning of the word, "missing the mark."
