Hollywood executive DeVon Franklin shows readers how to live and work
their faith from nine to five, not just after quitting time.
Straight from Hollywood comes a dynamic business model for building a
thriving career without compromising your faith. DeVon Franklin, vice
president of production for Columbia Pictures, shares how being bold
about his Christian faith while being driven and ambitious has actually
worked in his favor to help him excel in a high-profile, fast-paced,
competitive industry.
You are the movie. Produced by Faith parallels each step of the
Hollywood film making process with the faith-making process God uses to
turn your career into a success. You will discover that it is possible
to be both wildly successful and completely committed to God--and that
you will be even more successful when you place your faith at the center
of your career. You can unleash the power of your faith as your greatest
professional advantage and use the compass of God's Word to guide you to
your true passion and purpose in life. In this informative, inspiring
book, DeVon reveals the secrets to maintaining your faith while
advancing in your career. Here he shows you:
* How to discover The Big Idea for your life
* How to take your career to the next level
* How to recognize the signs God sends you that indicate when it's time
to movein a new direction
* How to stand firm on your Christian principles without compromise
* How to work with people who don't understand your beliefs
* How to choose a profession, industry, or company that is in tune with
your purpose
DeVon says, "I know from my own experiences that if you will put your
career in God's hands and trust Him, you can't account for all the ways
He will bless you. When you step out in faith, He will open doors and
bring you opportunities that will surpass even your wildest
expectations....If I have learned anything, it's this: To get where you
want to go, you've first got to become the person God wants you to be."
