Here are some reviews of Christ Centered Selling
"In Christ-Centered Selling, John LaBriola brings front and center ideas that are seldom, if ever, mentioned in business books. Trust, service, and humility are words well-known to Christians, but rarely regarded as important to the business people. John argues, in this well-reasoned and thoroughly readable book, that the virtues Christianity advances are precisely those qualities that every salesman needs to increase his bottom line.
John's book helps bridge the divide between "doing well" and "doing good." By emulating Jesus Christ in our work, and especially by serving the customers to whom we sell or offer our services, John persuasively argues that we can store up treasure in heaven - and put a fair amount of it away on earth as well.
John LaBriola's Ten Commandments of the Christ-Centered Salesperson should be taken to heart by every Christian who is engaged in commerce. Follow these rules and you will be happier and more peaceful in life, and more respected and more successful at work.

"Love this book! Many of my Christian salespeople feel almost guilty for being in sales. This book dispels those fears and brings a joy to the mission of service to clients. I have been waiting for a book like this to hit the stores. I purchased a copy for each of my salespeople. Thanks to John for listening to the Spirit and writing a book that is long overdue."

"I was new to sales when I first read Christ-Centered Selling and I was unsure about what place my values would take in my career. This book demonstrated to me that I could have a successful career without compromising my integrity. Christ-Centered Selling taught me how it wasn't just O.K. to continue living out the gospel during the course of my work, but that it was necessary. When I realized that my co-workers were expecting me to compromise my integrity in order to do my job, this book brought me to prayer and gave me the strength to resign and begin a very successful career with a different industry."
Adam Dudash, Sales Engineer
The author has done a great job in refreshing our memories about the basic dynamics of human interaction. This book is about being honest with ourselves and one another ... fundamental principles to live by! If we look at the BIG picture and consider the "Golden Rule" in all of our dealings, the world would be a better place. Chapter after chapter contains common sense items that in many cases our society has overlooked or forgotten. We should all be indebted to the author for reminding us!
Donna Ross, Director of Pastoral & Educational Services
"This book is a bright, new, and unusual guide to understanding being "Christ-Centered" in a competitive business world. In this fresh look at selling, John LaBriola invites us to live out "agape" love, the heart of the Gospel message. This book is a must for everyone who is in a service profession. It is a powerful tool for Christians to be the light in the darkness!"

Is it possible to evangelize through selling? Can we praise God in our business life? Finally, there's an idiot's guide to that shows us how to succeed in business by following the will of God.

Christ-Centered Selling takes marketing to a whole new level. This book should be a must on the list of all sales and public relations people. Accolades to Mr. LaBriola for the courage to write a book that gently challenges the very soft ground we have been standing on too long, a book that dares to teach "we must not light a lamp and hide it under a bed." This is a twenty-first century manual that goes beyond selling, it is more like a journey with a friend who takes the time to "break the silence" as we walk along life's path."
Reverend James L. Maltese
Christ-Centered Selling is both poignant and purposeful! John LaBriola has masterfully weaved and then bridged together both faith and marketing which are considered by most to be as compatible as oil and water. This book is for "anyone" who not only has to interact with others on a daily basis, but more so for those whose professional careers are dependent on personal interaction for promotion, sales and business development. I've thoroughly enjoyed easily putting to daily practice what is set out in this book and the results have been fantastic!

"I love this book. Its principles are founded on God's word. Its simple message encourages the reader not to be ashamed of his or her profession, nor his/her faith. Thank you, John, for reminding us of these timeless truths."
