Faith Driven Entrepreneur - by Henry Kaestner & J D Greear & Chip Ingram (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

"I'm excited about Faith Driven Entrepreneur. Anyone who is following the example of their creator God can find echoes of their work in this book." --Lecrae

Entrepreneurship can be a lonely journey. But it doesn't need to be. God has a purpose and a plan for all those entrepreneurial dreams and creative gifts he gave you.

The work you do today--the company you've built, the employees you work with, the customers you serve, the shareholders you report to, all of it--serves as an active part of what God wants to accomplish on earth.

You are not alone in this journey. Join other faith-driven entrepreneurs as, together, we

• identify the values, habits, and traits that empower us to successfully build businesses, serve our communities, and faithfully pursue a loving relationship with God;
• read stories that exemplify how those values, habits, and traits unfold in everyday life; and
• discover the potential God wants to unleash through our work.

Each book purchase includes access to the eight-session Faith Driven Entrepreneur video series, a discussion guide to encourage conversation among peers, and an invitation to join a Faith Driven Entrepreneur Group to meet other like-minded entrepreneurs.

From the Back Cover

God created something out of nothing.

We can't even begin to imagine how that works. Instead, we use the raw materials that God has created to make things as our way of following his example. But one cool thing that we get to do that no other creature on the planet can do is add value to things. We can take ore and metal and then shape them and mold them, and then we add value to them in the same way God took dirt and added value to it by breathing life into it.

That's something really special that I don't want to take for granted. When people hear a song that I've made and they see it as valuable enough to want to purchase it, that's me following in the footsteps of God. I've just taken sounds and thoughts and added value to them--turning raw materials into something more. If you're an entrepreneur, you know the feeling.

Creating something that others want feels incredible. The only thing that tops it is creating something that makes others want something bigger than you could ever make. I believe the future is full of Faith Driven Entrepreneurs who will do just that--men and women around the world working to create products and services that meet the needs of those around them and point to the God who meets all our needs.

I hope I get to be one of those people. I hope you do too.
