Publisher's summary

Secular and spiritual success are not opposites. To have one, you need the other.

You can be wildly successful without losing your faith. In fact, your secular success will strengthen your faith if you allow it. Too often we believe that success in secular environments contradicts the core principles of faith, but the opposite is true: Your faith was designed to thrive in the secular world and to transform it as a result. You may never experience the true fulfillment you were created for until you pursue the secular ambitions in your heart.

New York Times best-selling author DeVon Franklin knows this to be true. In The Hollywood Commandments, the prominent Hollywood producer and spiritual success coach reveals 10 life-changing lessons picked up from his over-20-year career in the entertainment business. You won't learn these lessons in the church, yet they will help you achieve an amazing life and thriving career that glorifies God. The Hollywood Commandments will help you:

  • Identify how to use what makes you unique to propel your career.
  • Overcome fear and build the courage to pursue new opportunities waiting for you.
  • Gain the confidence to make important life decisions with greater peace and clarity.
  • Negotiate the life and career advancement you deserve.

No, you don't have to work in Hollywood for this audiobook to work for you; these "commandments" apply to every walk of life! If you are stuck, looking for the secrets to advance your career, or have a feeling there's more to life, this audiobook is for you.

A good listen!!!

So glad DeVon read his own book! Authors at this level should always read their own book because it’s a gift to get the information directly from the ‘source’! I completed this audiobook in less than 24 hours because when I started I didn’t want to stop! I hope DeVon publishes more books related to success in life and work. I like the real examples like his wife and Foxy Brown.

It was exactly what I needed

I was losing hope for my dream. Discouraged and hopeless, I asked God why I was feeling the way I did about my career. I was feeling extremely lost and on the verge of giving up. & the next day I encountered this book. It was exactly what I needed. Devon did an amazing job at explaining and encouraging the guidelines of what it takes to pursue your dream with God. The way I was feeling was exactly what he felt in the past. It was encouraging to know I wasn't the only one going through this struggle.

WOW! This is a MUST READ to UNLEASH YOUR DESTINY!

Typically I'm very skeptical about audio books because I love having the physical copy, but this is a MUST! First of all, DeVon Franklin is an incredible storyteller, mentor, and spiritual leader!!! This book was so incredible I finished it within 2 days! Honestly, if you're somebody that doesn't want to compromise your spirituality for your success then this is an authentic step by step guide for you. Not only does DeVon walk you through the steps you need in order to achieve success, but he really helps you to unfold and unleash your destiny and God-given purpose. I've already gifted two friends who are absolutely loving this audible version. Definitely, do yourself a favor, invest in yourself and get this audible book today!

Can I Give This Book Six Stars?!

Devon Franklin really outdid himself this time! Often times books give you theory with no application but The Hollywood Commandments gives your both AND scripture which makes this book a real triple threat.

I expected this book to be good because I know Devon and have seen him speak often. However, he surpassed my expectations because I had NO IDEA that he would light a FIRE so deep inside of me to take my career and God-given calling to the next level. The pain, process and passion he wrote about will connect with anyone who has talent but gets stressed with delayed results.

This is a must read but be beware! You will feel something in your belly and soul that you should and can be doing more with your dreams. You simply will be unable to accept living beneath your dreams moving forward. "You are the talent so behave like it." Dr. Alduan Tartt

Couldn't Get Past First Chapter - due to narrator

I love DeVon and his message. I'm surprised that he didn't know to narrate rather than read. Being a heavyweight in the business, I expected him to be at least a passable actor, or hire one to narrate the book. I just could not get past the reading. His message is wonderful but I believe it will not reach as many people because he chose to read it. To think of the number of awesome actors he could have used ... It will sell but he will miss the audible audience. I am going to buy the book so I can read it myself.

Truth. Wisdom. Real talk.

The heart of this book sounds like conversations between my friends and I. This is definitely "fuel for the journey". It's another clear reminder for me to follow and cooperate with God while I watch Him exceed my expectations. Thanks Devon!
