Entrepreneurship

""For anyone wrestling with how their work connects to something bigger, this book offers a fresh perspective. Goossen and Stevens demonstrate that entrepreneurship isn't just compatible with a Kingdom mindset, it can be an expression of it. Whether you're building a company, leading a team, or finding your footing, the work in front of you matters more than you might think. This book will reframe the way you view and live out your calling."" Bobby Gruenewald, Founder and CEO, YouVersion ""This book is full of good common sense, practical wisdom and biblical insight. It gives many useful illustrative examples and will be a great help and encouragement to entrepreneurs who want their business to reflect their Christian identity and convictions. A great read."" John C. Lennox, Emeritus Professor of Mathematics, University of Oxford and President, Oxford Centre for Christian Apologetics ""Goossen and Stevens have given the church and the marketplace a much-needed roadmap. Entrepreneurship: A Christian Perspective shows how ordinary business leaders can live out an extraordinary calling--using innovation, risk, and leadership to serve people and advance the Kingdom, not just profits. I love how they ground real-world stories in solid theology and give practical handles for Monday morning, not just Sunday inspiration. If you're serious about seeing your business, your church, and your community aligned around God's mission, this book will both challenge and equip you."" Rick Rusaw, Executive Leadership Team, Gloo, Author and Pastor, Boulder, Colorado ""Drs Goosen and Stevens have captured the appropriate tension between thriving as an entrepreneur while remaining grounded in one's Christian faith. After all, the great commission is an entrepreneurial calling to proactively seek to win the world with the vibrant message of Christ. I highly recommend this book for any Christian who embraces the entrepreneurial gifting and calling."" Andy J. Hughes, DBA, Dean, DeVoe School of Business, Technology and Leadership, Indiana Wesleyan University ""The Christian faith was born in an entrepreneurial spirit. The apostles were driven to take a risk because they believed in the outcome. Now, Goossen and Stevens have closed that circle with this book, a powerful look at the connections between Christianity and entrepreneurship. It will change the way you think about the future of business."" Phil Cooke, PhD, Filmmaker, media consultant, and author of Ideas on a Deadline: How to Be Creative When the Clock is Ticking ""This book is a marvellous synthesis and overview of entrepreneurship from a Christian perspective. Well written, succinct, and clear. Just like we like it in our businesses.""
