Binge-Worthy Biographies That Show You How to Glorify God in Your Work

Experience the riveting true stories of five men and women who changed the world by following Christ in their careers—and discover practical applications for how you can, too.

Do you ever wonder what it means to truly glorify God in your work if you’re not a pastor, missionary, or religious professional?

Rather than offering theological exposition to answer that question, Jordan Raynor and Kaleigh Cox use vivid, fast-paced storytelling to present the captivating lives of five “mere Christians” who will show you what it looks like to follow Christ wherever you live and work:

Fred Rogers, the TV host from Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, demonstrates how your selfless service of others can reveal glimpses of heaven on earth.

Fannie Lou Hamer, the courageous civil rights activist, models how to pursue justice without hating the unjust.

Ole Kirk Christiansen, the founder of LEGO, shows how to persevere through life’s most difficult trials and find God’s purpose in play.

Hannah More, the audacious poet largely credited for abolishing slavery throughout the British Empire, exemplifies how to change the world through culture and not just politics.

C.S. Lewis, the literature professor and bestselling author of The Chronicles of Narnia and Mere Christianity, invites you to embrace your unique opportunities to proclaim the Gospel and make disciples.

Unlike typical biographies that get bogged down in boring detail, each story in this collection is mercifully short, extremely entertaining, and profoundly helpful—providing clear takeaways for modern-day mere Christians looking to glorify God in their own everyday work.

Captivating

Each story is a compelling story of the work of the “ordinary”. It’s inspiring to hear these stories in light of what we learn from them in their faith and walk with Christ. 10/10 great read!!

Amazing!

Any easy read, although I did it on audible. The voice of the author was entertaining and enjoyable to listen to. I would highly recommend this to my friends and family.

Fantastic True Stories

Thoroughly enjoyed listening to the true stories of these people. Entertaining yet informative, and very thought provoking. Very well written, and great audio recording by the author.

Truly Inspirational

Bought this for my wife who wanted to listen to it and she was crying in every chapter she was so moved by these stories she couldn’t wait to tell everyone about them and bought the physical book to gift to a friend of hers she said it’s the best read in a while and she reads at least one book a week

Easy listening

Inspiring stories that kept me wanting to hear more about the characters. It caused me to reevaluate my Christian walk and responsibilities as a child of God.

A joy to listen to!

Couldn’t wait to listen to the next story and the next and the next..! It was as though I could picture each character and be a part of their lives. Often the tears flowed but also often I found myself smiling as I was listening. Highly recommend this book. Thanks Jordan for giving me great joy!!

Real life stories

It took me a minute to adjust to the author’s voice but I was quickly pulled into skillfully crafted stories of lives well lived.

some facts are not true

being a Dane I can see that the story about Ole Kirk Christiansen is missing some facts.
like Denmark was freed on may 4th not May 8th like the story says,
if Kirk Christiansen changed his name to be spelled with ch instead of k it cannot be to have his name closer to Christ since Christ in Danish is Kristus.
when simple facts slip it makes you wonder what else slipped...
