Entrepreneurs of Life

Entrepreneurs of Life

Faith and the Venture of Purposeful Living

By Edited by Os Guinness with Ginger Koloszyc
(1991)

The original Trinity Forum seminar curriculum covers themes of personal purpose and calling.

“Making a difference.” “Leaving a legacy.” “Moving from success to significance.” Few recurring themes in modern Western society are more powerful than the contemporary search for purpose and fulfillment. Our primary trouble is that, as modern people, we have too much to live with and too little to live for. Most of us in fact live, in the midst of material plenty, in spiritual poverty.

This curriculum explores this powerful human desire for purpose and significance. In the process, the readings examine the opportunities, challenges, and seasons of life that provide the backdrop of our individual life journeys in this world. At once inspiring and incisive, Entrepreneurs of Life will challenge each of us in setting our priorities and assessing our progress.

The best way of telling the difference between those two opposites—righteousness and self-righteousness—is that righteousness has a sense of humour. Self righteousness never does.
