About this listen

We were created by an infinitely creative God to reflect his love and character to the world. One way we do that is by continuing his creative work.

In this energizing book, serial entrepreneur and best-selling author Jordan Raynor helps artists, entrepreneurs, writers, and other creatives re-imagine our work as service to God and others, addressing such penetrating questions as:

  • Is my work as a creative really as God-honoring as that of a pastor or missionary?
  • What does it look like to create a name for myself but to glorify God and serve others?
  • How can I use my work to fulfill Jesus' command to create disciples?
  • Will what I make today matter in eternity?

To answer these questions, Raynor shares compelling stories from an eclectic group of more than 40 Christian entrepreneurs, including the founders of Toms Shoes, Charity: Water, Chick-fil-A, In-N-Out Burger, Guinness, HTC, and Sevenly, as well as nontraditional entrepreneurs such as C. S. Lewis, Johann Sebastian Bach, and J. R. R. Tolkien. Raynor's "show"-rather-than-"tell", story-driven style makes you feel as if you are sitting at the feet of some of the godliest and most successful entrepreneurs of all time.

Perfectly poised to reach today's growing creative class, this unique work restores God's position as the first entrepreneur, helping listeners see the eternal value in the work they do today.

I loved the concept of this book. I'm new to christianity and trying to find my way through my career. I know I'm here for more and I'm just working on creating with always holding jesus/God vision for his child.

AMAZING

I loved it! I've always been creative, but I've struggled a lot with insecurity about the value of creating vs. serving people. After reading this fantastic book I now understand that I can be true to myself and use my gifts to glorify God. A super encouraging and affirming read for anyone who's creative and/or entrepreneurial.

Loved it!

This book is the culmination of why I am in business and not in a religious occupation. God’s already all around us, but he wants to be working with us. We can reveal him and glorify him in our business, by the way we use profit (abundance) to bless people, the products we make, our business ethics, etc.

God is in our business

This book was just what I didn’t know I needed. As an entrepreneur life can get bumpy, chaotic and discouraging and it’s easy to lose sight of your true purpose. I will listen to this book at least once a year and use it as a reminder of why we even started this journey.

Encouraging

This book will help renew your mind so that you can transform your work into something meaningful to bless others.

My work can be an offering to the Lord

This book was so inspiring to me because it helped me realize how I have been viewing my work as something I do for myself and to provide for my family, instead of loving work as a form of worship to My Lord and Savior. All young people should read and study this book as they are planning their futures, because this changes everything!

Life Changing!!

I was so encouraged and affirmed by this book. it tied together the "why" of entrepreneurship for believers.
