What do the following top business execs have in common? David Neeleman (CEO/Founder, Jet Blue), Jim Quigley (CEO, Deloitte and Touche)/ Kevin Rollins (CEO, Dell), Kim Clark (Dean, Harvard Bus.School)/ Dave Checketts (ex-CEO, Madison Square Garden/ New York Knicks), Gary Crittenden (CFO, AmEx)? They are all devout Mormons who spend their Sundays exclusively with their families, who work smart (but not long) hours and who always put their spouses and children first.

Their modern-day blending of commercial success along with their faith makes for a fascinating look at how they balance their lives. Critically acclaimed author and investigative journalist Jeff Benedict (a Mormon himself) examines these highly successful Mormons business exec's and gets them to reveal how their beliefs have influenced and enabled them to achieve incredible success.
