For thirty-five years Lanny Vincent has been facilitating invention and foresight with Fortune 500 companies seeking to innovate. Formerly a Presbyterian Pastor in the South and Midwest, Lanny continues to make sense of change and innovation with the inspired guidance of the biblical canon, even from his garage in the San Francisco Bay Area.
The core idea of this remarkable book is timely, inspiring, and
potentially revolutionary, especially as regards selflessness vs.
self-interest. Lanny Vincent shows how theology and innovation are
not at odds, but deeply complementary. Clear, elegantly written,
and practical, the book offers specific direction to those who hope
to keep their work wise, humane, useful, and will surely enrich
readers' understanding of their own purposes.
--Marilyn McEntyre, PhD, author of Caring for Words in a Culture of
Lies When scientists and engineers attempt to create new value for
others, Vincent argues, they should seek the will of God to guide
where they should innovate, why, and for whom. Instead of the
invisible hand of the market, the guidance will be from the hands
of the Other--holding a plumb line like the prophet Amos saw.
--Jack Swearengen, Professor of Engineering (retired); author of
Beyond Paradise: Technology and the Kingdom of God There is a
gaping hole in our world's innovation thinking. True and lasting
innovation requires more than markets, science, technology, and
logic; it yearns for a plumb line only the Word can provide. Accept
the challenge. See how theology enables innovation anew and begin
innovating in the Company of God.
--Greg Gudorf, MBA, Chief Executive Officer, Pure Flix Digital;
Inventor; Technology Industry Executive Flowing from a life that
combines 'deep' theology and spiritual solidarity with a keen eye
for what constitutes expert entrepreneurship certainly makes this
book a fresh and original contribution.
--Stuart Brown, MD, Founder and President, The National Institute
