Summary
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.

Refreshing insightful prspectv on entrepreneurship
Loved this book. It wasn't quite what I anticipated from the title. I'm more into arts and crafts not really an entrepreneure, but I still loved it and found it very inspiring and hope filled.

Excellent
I've rarely read a book that so seamlessly blends the sacred and the area of work. Jordan Raynor speaks from a wealth of experience in entrepreneurship, and also that of faith in a Biblical context. As Jordan makes his case, we see that the sacred and the world of sanctified work are woven and intertwined beautifully.
This is an excellent offering of Biblical truth. The narration of Jim Denison flows well, making for a listening experience that is easy, light-hearted, and enjoyable. My thanks to Jordan. First class!

A treasure
Loved every minute of it. Such a liberating book for those who can’t resist the urge to create. I had never thought of creating as a calling and this books has given me a radical paradigm shift. Thanks so much Jordan Raynor for taking ten months of your life to bless others with this wonderful book.
