Jesus & Co.

Discover a Radical New Way to Bring Jesus to the Workplace

Jesus & Co. presents a radically different way to bring Jesus and the Gospels to our work lives. Learn how to not only survive, but thrive while swimming with sharks that surround us each day in the workplace. A very hopeful and encouraging book written by a former Fortune 500 “C” level executive who completed seven years of theological education to receive a Doctorate degree in Ministry, Jesus & Co. presents the blending of both these worlds in an extraordinarily practical way to help other working Christians.

Jesus & Co. uses the exact words spoken by Jesus and compelling historical evidence to bring Jesus alive in a very different way. Jesus becomes accessible and real, by connecting His words and the ancient Judean marketplace with inspiring business people from the 21st century.

This book is a must read for both clergy and faithful Christians, and has received 5 star reviews from its readers on Amazon.

Jesus & Co. is a journey through time and the lives of Jesus and marvelous Christians.
