Arizona Tribune - Authors Richard J. Goossen and R. Paul Stevens Take a Distinct Look at the Christian Perspective and Fundamental Dynamics of Entrepreneurship

TORONTO, ON / ACCESS Newswire / May 26, 2026 / Most entrepreneurship texts focus on mechanics-financing, growth, marketing, and execution. The Christian worldview asks deeper questions about purpose, creativity, ethics, and responsibility. Goossen and Stevens argue that entrepreneurship is not merely an economic activity. They see it as a divinely inspired calling, rooted in God's creative nature and expressed through entrepreneurial leadership.

In Entrepreneurship: A Christian Perspective, well-known leaders Richard J. Goossen and R. Paul Stevens offer a compelling vision of entrepreneurship grounded in biblical faith and moral clarity. Drawing on decades of research and work with entrepreneurial leaders, they show how a Christian worldview reshapes purpose, leadership, risk, wealth, and legacy.

Moving beyond technique to transformation, this book connects innovation with servant leadership-and business success with spiritual depth. It challenges readers to pursue opportunity under God's agenda, not merely their own.

For entrepreneurs, students, and leaders seeking coherence between faith and work, this is an invitation to practice entrepreneurship with integrity, courage, and eternal purpose.
