{"product_id":"9780802492692","title":"A Christian in Big Business: The Biography of Henry Parsons Crowell, the Breakfast Table Autocrat","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Yankee temperament seems to be resultant of forces between shrewd  bargaining and a genius for faith. Faith kept bargaining from becoming sordid, and  bargaining kept faith from becoming gullible. You can’t help admiring  these men. They were Puritans with a Mission Street education. They could deal with  Scrooge to his disadvantage, and commune with Fenelon to his edification; yet neither  function violated the other.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHenry Parsons Crowell was a Yankee from Cleveland.  You will never measure the sagacity with which he reared great enterprises, or the  devotion to his walk with God until you take time to look at his forebears—the  Yankees from Connecticut.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe constant aplomb of Mr. Crowell indicates a Broadcloth  Background. Among his forebears were American pioneers, judges, Yale students, army  officers, early business and professional men. Added thereto were years of contacts  with captains of industry, inventors, and artisans from Brooklyn to Saskatoon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe  most formative of all factors, however, was the unfeigned faith he had from a child.  The family altars of his forebears, the Crowells and the Parsons, glow like air-beacons  across the night clear back to Colonial Days. In his own time, Mr. Crowell’s  fellowships were with the outstanding of all denominations: men committed to evangelical  fervor, Trinitarian faith, and sound doctrine. All of the foregoing help explain  his quiet power, sure touch, and unbroken equanimity. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Moody Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47078568919280,"sku":"9780802492692","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780802492692_p0.jpg?v=1763727051","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780802492692","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
