Author Description

Life is pretty crazy, isn’t it? Life often throws us curve balls. God often leads in mysterious ways. The things God calls us to sometimes do not make sense. IT’S CRAZY! Adding on to the craziness of life, we are confronted with the fact that things work very differently in the topsy-turvy Kingdom of God: It is more blessed to give than to receive. You have to die to self, in order to truly live. IT’S CRAZY! But… does it actually work? We cannot help but wonder: Is seeking first the kingdom of God actually doable in business and leadership? Can one even hope to survive — let alone thrive — while sticking steadfastly to the principles of integrity and incorruptibility? Can one do business and be compassionate at the same time? Can a leader embrace God’s counter-intuitive guidance — and still succeed? These are tough questions. This is where our faith collides with reality. And that's why this book is titled IT'S C.R.A.Z.Y.!
