It's an interesting concept, applying business principles to being creative. But it makes sense. It's our "job," as Christians, to use our gifts, our talents, our passions, to their fullest. To God's glory.
Raynor gives all sorts of examples from real life of people who took risks, who did what didn't make sense from a money-focused approach. They walked away from business success, they stayed true to their values and beliefs, and they lived out what they believed. Being Christians for them meant more than slapping Bible verses on their bags or big motivational posters in the break room.
Far different from the controversial teachings of the so-called prosperity gospel, and the completely false implications that God wants us to be rich (riches are useless unless they are put to WORK), this book redefines success. It teaches that success isn't just "okay" with God, it's something we most definitely should reach for. Our success glorifies and honors Him. To succeed means we serve Him with everything we have, and pleasing Him is the ultimate meaning of success.
