John Wieland is the first to admit his success is baffling. When an average Joe turns a bankrupt company into a 30-branch business that earns over $300 million in revenue and gives 10 percent of the company profits to ministries across the world, Wieland is the first to ask: how did this happen? His conclusion: business, family and faith affect each other in ways that few realize and together bring about success. Unlike many books that discuss faith, Wieland never preaches perfection. It's his honesty about his own struggles-between worship and human instinct, between sacrifice and indulgence, between sharing his love of God with others and appreciating people right where they are-that makes Uncommon Threads so unique.
