Title: The Making of George Groton
First published: 1918
Description: Bruce Barton of BBDO Advertising fame wrote several books that equated proper business activity with Christianity. His 'The Man Nobody Knows' is his classic work about the life of Jesus Christ.

This novel chronicles the introduction to the business world of a young man who finds worldly success early in his career, shows his gradual abandonment of values he had learned as a child, his loss of temporal success and his eventually finding fulfillment in the values of his youth.

A well-told tale by a master wordsmith, this little book teaches moral lessons by showing how little compromises lead to large errors. And that redemption is found at the point of repentance. A fun read, especially if you have been to New York and can visualize the places mentioned.
