I have to recommend a book -

“Thou Shall Prosper”

It has great insights into Godly standards and Jewish tradition with regard to business.

Now... can someone explain the Parable of the Shrewd Manager?

Shrewd manager.

I once heard it taught that this manager had 2 sets of books - one was his cost (the price the boss wanted to get for the goods), the other was the higher price he told his customers. He wrote down his mark-up to make sure that his boss got 100% of his selling price. Sounded like the debtors were not gonna pay anything, but by removing his mark-up, the shrewd manager was able to collect the rich man’s money.

Not sure I explained that well...

What line in Scripture do you not understand?

Please quote the Scripture.

Do you mean the Parable of the Unjust Steward (aka “Dishonest Manager”) in Luke 16?
