The son of Italian immigrants, Jerry has become one of the most powerful men in sports. One of only a handful of "triple aces" in World War II, Ken returned from a POW camp to start a business he later sold for $139 million. A mother of seven, Noel has been called "the third most powerful businesswoman in L.A." At a time when people are looking for spiritual meaning and purpose in their work, stories of people with depth and balance in their lives who have overcome remarkable obstacles yet achieved remarkable success are more inspirational than ever. Authors Oster and Hamel tell twenty such inspirational stories outlining these entrepreneurs' commitment to God, genuine love of people, willingness to take risks, and ability to learn and adapt to change. The Entrepreneur's Creed combines sage counsel on how to be spiritually and ethically grounded with sound wisdom on success.


About the Author


Merrill Oster is Chairman of Oster Communications, Inc. and lectures widely on world business issues.

He is a professional writer with over a dozen books to my credit, including a trilogy of titles dealing with faith and business: The Entrepreneur's Creed, Executive Influence and Giving Back.


His most enjoyable project to date has been an eight-volume juvenile fiction series called Matterhorn the Brave. It's based on variegated yarns I used to spin for my four children. They are now grown and my three grandchildren will soon be old enough for stories of their own.


He lives in Colorado Springs, Colorado with my bride of 36 years, Susan.
