About the Book
Business can consume as much of your life as you are willing to give it. Revenue grows. Technology changes. Opportunities come and go. But the things that matter most cannot be measured on a balance sheet.
Building Beyond the Business examines what it means to pursue meaningful work without allowing achievement to become the measure of a faithful life. Drawing from Scripture and lived experience, Elias Curtis invites readers to consider what they are building and what will remain when the building is done.
