Hopewell Publications Each year Best New Writing by Hopewell Publications reviews the winner, runner up, and notable recipients of the Eric Hoffer Awards. The following is their 2008 review of Spiritual Capitalism: How 9/11 gave us nine spiritual lessons of work and business, Winner in the Business category. (Quote used with permission) “There are plenty of offerings that try to bridge the historical gap between spirituality and business. In case you haven’t heard: God wants you to be rich! What makes this book different from the crush of faith-based success manuals? Plenty, starting with the notable and welcome absence of dogma and religious cliché. For one thing, a book centered on ethics and appreciation of the underlying humanity of daily work, written by two Wall Street headhunters has to open some eyes. The authors have woven dozens of examples from their combined years in the business world together with poignant observations on the nature of work, money and behavior. Their handful of take-home messages is illustrated with dignity against the backdrop of the 9/11 attacks and the painful recovery that followed.” Midwest Book Review A must have for any business man feeling their work leaving them hollow and unfulfilled in life (Five Stars – Amazon.com) The little moves one makes while running a business have far more implications than they seem, claims "Spiritual Capitalism: How 9/11 Gave Us Nine Spiritual Lesson of Work and Business".

"Spiritual Capitalism: How 9/11 Gave Us Nine Spiritual Lessons of Work and Business" is a must have for any business man or woman feeling their work leaving them hollow and unfulfilled in life and for community library spirituality shelves. Capitalism with a Conscience: "'The world of capitalism is being called to protect life and property of the global community,' said FDNY Chaplain, Fr. Christopher Keenan. After, 9/11/01, one New York couple answers the call with a commitment to 'Spiritual Capitalism,' where business is personal!" Link to full review Viewpoint

"The Resslers have crafted a new edition that is current, vital, and handsome to hold and read. It doesn’t flinch from the fact that parts of Wall Street have retreated from the noble example the blue-collar firefighters set. The Resslers view this inevitable backsliding with the equanimity that comes when one is at peace in a respite during a long journey of self-examination. Such wisdom is rare. This is a splendid book." Link to full review Religion and Spirituality.com Religion and Spirituality.com —April 2, 2007 We cannot ignore the role of money in our existence. Rather than deny it is in the foundation of our survival, let's put it to honorable use. Link to full review
