About this listen

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 best-selling author Jordan Raynor helps artists, entrepreneurs, writers, and other creatives re-imagine 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 a name for myself but to glorify God and serve others?
  • How can I use my work to fulfill Jesus' 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 more than 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 listeners see the eternal value in the work they do today.

If you're entrepreneurial but think the only way to serve God is in formal ministry, then this book will be tremendously encouraging. I am neither of those things, so it really wasn't for me.

It will probably help you hear God's true call on your life over what unbiblical conservative Christian culture is saying.

You can serve God in non-ministry work

This book was such a breath of fresh air! It spoke into everything I’ve been feeling for years and showed me biblically WHY I’ve been feeling this way! God is so good. It’s amazing to know that I’ve been created to create and can glorify God in doing it!

This book changed my life

I enjoyed this book from start to finish. It is excellently written with so many great stories that kept me interest. It is also very clear that the author is a mature man of God and this is so encouraging. I highly recommend this book for anyone who feels called by God to be an entrepreneur and also for anyone who wants to grow in discipleship.

A Definite Must Read

As a seasoned entrepreneur I've often struggled with understanding why or how my faith had a role to play in my businesses.
Jordan Raynor does a remarkable job in Call To Create in shedding light on Biblical concepts that are applicable to business and in so sets a framework to work within whereby my faith can play a vital role in building God's kingdom today and also have an eternal impact in heaven
