The Missional Entrepreneur:
Principles and Practices for Business as Mission
By Mark Russell (New Hope, 2010)

“Business as mission is a strategic framework for the church to engage and empower business professionals.

In the future, people will not be content, nor should they be, in living a fractured life of church on Sunday and employment throughout the week. If the church fails to act, its ability to impact society and transform lives will significantly decrease. However, if we develop empowering frameworks that help people integrate their faith with their jobs, then we are likely to not only see more people interested in our faith, but also a more accurate and compelling outworking of the ideals of the faith in the routines of life.” –Mark Russell, from the book
