He didn't work for money.
He was willing to walk away.
He invested His emotions wisely.
He did sweat the small stuff.

Beyond work, beyond entrepreneurism, there is "spiritreneurism" -- work that allows you to do well by doing right. In Jesus, Inc., Laurie Beth Jones, bestselling author of Jesus, CEO, shows you how to find soul satisfaction in your work.

In Jesus, CEO, Laurie Beth Jones offered an irresistible motivational proposition: If Jesus could change the world with a team of just twelve men, shouldn't he have something to teach us all about managing our teams? The answer was a resounding yes, and it made the book a bestseller.

Now, in Jesus, Inc., Jones shows that there is no contradiction between earning a comfortable living even as you use your job to promote your deepest spiritual and personal beliefs. How exactly is this possible? Using timeless wisdom from the Bible and anecdotes from her own life and consulting career, as well as tales from the best and worst work situations in today's rapidly changing business environment, she reveals how you can inspire yourself and your coworkers to use your highest gifts to benefit the bottom line.

Never before have so many individuals been willing to launch new businesses, and never before have so many of them been looking for a new business model. Here, in Jesus, Inc., entrepreneurs and "spiritreneurs" will find timeless wisdom and biblical principles that will help create a new world of joyful and satisfying work.

A genius at making the powerful familiar, Jones offers a commandingly fresh and compelling case for Jesus as a role model for modern times. Rich with humor, exercises, meditations, and case histories, Jesus, Inc. is essential reading for those seeking to put their spirituality to practical use.

Praise for Laurie Beth Jones

"Laurie Beth Jones gives you many practical ideas on how to add love, inspiration, and goodwill into your organization."
-- Ken Blanchard, author of The One-Minute Manager

"Jones presents Jesus not as a religious messiah but as an executive leader. . . . a kind of how-to manual for succeeding as corporate officers internally, externally, and for eternity."
-- San Diego Union Tribune

"[Jones's] style is engaging and breezy with enough personal details and humor that make it easy to be swept along. While loosely hitting biblical touchstones, she makes an embracing case for Jesus as a modern role model."
-- Tom DePoto, Star-Ledger (Newark, N.J.)

"Practical, useful help for Christians and nonbelievers alike. Jones has made her mark, and her books are here to stay."

-- Christian Retailing
