Book Description:
Building Sustainable World Peace under Jesus CEO: World Religious and Management Principles for Universal Peace by H.G. Liem was the product of many years of study, research, and experience. It included one year of full time research that started in March 2000. The project was vision driven. Author researched the viable methods to create world peace using related areas of study including management, history, applied philosophy, and religion. Author came up with the solution using a combination of thinking methods known by different terminologies including scientific thinking, lateral thinking, system thinking, holistic thinking, and transcendental thinking. In theistic religion, they are called the revelations of God. This book implicitly presents the following theses in formulating world peace principles: Thesis 1: From Organizational Management point of view, the world needs one common CEO, one common vision of peace, and value adding preferences. We must manage the world using the best organizational management knowledge we currently apply to large and complex organizations. Thesis 2: The Principles of World Peace must be measurable and founded on accurate historical data like any other areas of science. Unless they are founded on truth, they are simply empty theories that tend to be useless and even destructive. History has shown that the peace and prosperity of the world are founded on Jesus. As we stray away from Jesus, world problems increase. Thesis 3: Total Quality Management demands that we solve problems throughout all stages starting at the source. To foster sustainable world peace, we must proactively educate people to desire value addingness starting as early as possible (source solution) so that they would become contributing members of society by their own free choices instead of simply by the bondage of the laws. That way, value addingness gives them happiness and true freedom. It is not compassionate to let people live unsustainable happiness and punish them at the inspection line of the laws (tailpipe solution). Tailpipe solutions such as jail and warfare are expensive and inhumane, and should only be used as the last option. Thesis 4: To solve world problems, we need to deal with the reality of life. Since most people already believe in God, we need to use God to increase value addingness in the world. Historically, there was no sustainable democracy apart from Jesus. Instead of suppressing religious believers, we need to encourage people to rigorously discuss and apply religious beliefs in a way that would promote universal peace. Thesis 5: The world needs to propagate the highest and most prevalent vision of world peace. Focus determines destiny. Without vision, people wander in the pursuit of self happiness. This book explores the vision of peace that permeates the whole Bible: 'God will bless all people on earth through Jesus.' The Bible calls Jesus as the CEO of Peace with the responsibility to create peace on earth and goodwill in people. Historical data and ideological analysis tell us that the world will experience unprecedented peace and prosperity when we bond and align to Him. Through Jesus, people desire win win happiness that builds up society and the world. Thesis 6: The world needs to propagate value adding preferences such as agape love and truth. Agape love expresses itself in the preferences and behaviors that produce good deeds. Truth is the foundation to know and make sense of the world, just as it is the foundation of science. The ideology of Jesus is founded on the First and Second Greatest Commandments. The First Greatest Commandment is to love Yahweh our Elohim with all our heart and all our soul and all our mind. The Second Greatest Commandment is to love our neighbor as ourselves. Living the First Greatest Commandment unites the world into one team under one CEO of Peace. Living both commandments produces win win, universal love. By understanding these two commandments, people can separate the true followers of God from the false followers. Thesis 7: The world needs to follow the CEO who has the power to unite the world into peace. This CEO needs to exemplify and teach agape love and truth. He needs to transcend the world. For the CEO to be effective, the world needs to believe in His power to reward value addingness and punish value hoggingness. 9/11 terrorist attacks would not have happened if the jihadists had believed that they would end up in eternal damnation in Hell. This book shows that the world scriptures of Islam, Hindu, Buddhism, Judaism, Chinese, and Christianity all have prophesied of Jesus Christ as the only Savior. Knowing these scriptural verses lead people to Jesus and thus unites the world into one team under one CEO to pursue one common vision of sustainable world peace.
