description: 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 bestselling author Jordan Raynor helps artists entrepreneurs writers and other creatives reimagine 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 not to make a name for myself but to glorify God and serve others?- How can I use my work to fulfill Jesus's 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 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 readers see the eternal value in the work they do today.
