Ritchie gives the story of the astonishing early growth of his options-trading company and the dilemma of newfound wealth against his background of Christian faith.
Moreover, he has a genuine capacity for discerning and conveying spiritual insights--with a refreshing lack of ego inflation. From Library Journal The drama of high finance is amply spotlighted in these "confessions" by the founder of one of the world's largest options trading companies, but skeptical readers anticipating self-justification are in for a happy surprise. God in the Pits is a welcome and unusual item in the confessional genre.Copyright 1989 Reed Business Information, Inc. .
