Influenced from Above: Where Faith and Influence Meet

The most powerful influence doesn't just change minds-it changes hearts.After a successful career, John Andrews thought retirement would be the reward for a lifetime of hard work. But as the excitement of freedom fades, he feels a deeper calling from God-something beyond golf games and leisurely mornings. When a building project at his church sparks his interest, John sees a chance to serve the Lord and make a lasting difference.What begins as a simple volunteer effort quickly becomes a complex challenge. John must navigate not only the personalities within the church but also the demands of the city council, zoning boards, contractors, and the wider community. To succeed, he must draw on all he learned in business-especially the principles of influence-and blend them with the Biblical truths he's discovering. (or maybe, ...Biblical truths he strives to live.) Influenced from Above shows us that that true influence is more than getting others to say "yes"-it's about leading with humility, serving others in Christ's name, and building something that lasts far beyond bricks and mortar.Told with warmth and insight, Influenced from Above is an inspiring business parable for Christian leaders, entrepreneurs, and professionals who want to bring their faith and skills together to create ethical and meaningful change-in work, life, and the Kingdom of God.
