Great stuff, Cynthia. We’re constantly inspired by Zappos, and it’s nice to see that philosophy packaged in easy-to-remember chunks.

Wouldn’t it be great for churches to publish stories every year, like a year book, tracking and sharing the growth in faith, witnessing to God’s work in our lives, and the hope each has looking forward to the next year?

With online/vid/multimedia becoming so prevalent, this might be something worth pursuing to build out a platform so that churches can plug in and create their own story book — and also choose the contribute to an aggregated version that’s public and outward facing.

Great thoughts! But I’m thinking, wouldn’t it be cool if one day business journals would write up articles entitled “What businesses can learn from the church.”

Now that would be pretty cool

Justice thanks so much for stopping by …. I value your perspective and love your insights here about Jesus being unafraid to present Kingdom principles in non-religious parables that anyone could understand (rather than appealing to the pharisees who would have insisted on “spiritual” examples). Thanks for your comment.

This is good stuff! Isn’t it interesting that Jesus almost always used business examples to define the Kingdom of God? Parables about farmers, masters and servants, vineyard owners, managers, business owners, etc.

and what’s so cool is they compile a book each year called The Culture Book with hundreds of stories from employees describing what the core values mean to them, how they’ve experienced it themselves, an how they show it thru their work. I evwn got a copy of it when Tony tweeted a free giveaway of them — so come on by and browse thru the 2008 edition
