A great read for those navigating entrepreneurship as a believer. Lots of poignant and encouraging words that will help you shape.your mindset in how you approach business and build relationships.

A solid approach for business leaders to lead and run their companies as a way to love others. Becoming excellent is no longer just about chasing the bottom line but also about being faithful stewards to the businesses that God entrusted to us. Really refreshing read and highly recomended for entrepreneurs that are seeking a deeper meaning to their journey here on earth.

Thank you to Tyndale House and NetGalley for making this ARC book available to me. My thoughts are my own.

I am excited that Faith Driven Entrepreneur releases August 31, 2021. Why? We need new words of life in our businesses, those that are up and running and those that will be born in the next generation.

I hope to become an entrepreneur one day. A funny way to start a book review. But, I feel I must be candid in that point. I was drawn to this book by this hope. Book blogging allows me to interact with the book-loving community at large. Hopefully this will turn into something larger. I am also an artist; I feel that my gifts are encouragement, prayer and all things art related.

So, Why Read It?
With so many other books out there about entrepreneurship, what makes Faith Driven Entrepreneur different?

First and foremost, the emphasis remains on the most important thing: God being at the center of every Christian-owned business. While many of the other business principles sound the same as other business-savvy books, the idea of putting your focus back on God runs through the text constantly.

Written by Henry Kaestner, J.D. Greear and Chip Ingram, Faith Driven Entrepreneur takes a look at entrepreneurship from the perspective of each of the authors. Each writer takes a chapter and writes from his personal experience before incorporating action points as follow up.

I love how the authors begin the book by stating that we are not all called to ministry per se. Throughout the book, they expound upon this idea saying that our business IS our ministry. We can be used by God right where we are. As someone who has worked in the marketplace as an employee for 16 years, this struck me as essential for me, right where I am, right now.

Our ultimate mission should be spreading the love of Jesus and telling the world the Good News (the great commission).

Bottom Line
These three writers offer personal first-hand words of wisdom from life and business experience. And at the end of each chapter, they point you back to the website, where you will find videos of real-life Christian entrepreneurs that relate back to the book and the concepts presented there.

Although some of this was out of my current sphere (in that I'm not yet an entrepreneur), I gained great insight into how I can be "changing the world for Christ" right now. Like I said, some of the concepts mirror other books' thoughts, but I think the fabric that holds the book together--Christ-centered business--make it a worthy and essential read.

Interesting concepts on entrepreneurship from a religious perspective. I think it is important to be open minded and that is why I was interested in discovering contents of this book. Can be inspiring for religious people to start business.

This book centers itself too much in capitalism and I think is not really doing much good but perpetuating harm.
