Mr Tim Hoerr

Risking It: an Intersection of Faith & Work Mr Tim Hoerr

How does one integrate faith, personal purpose, work and risk taking? This highly personal memoir explores these powerful, spiritual themes through engaging storytelling based on the author's 30 years in business. Reaching back to his roots, the author reflects on growing up in a lay minister's family and the family landscaping business, both of which had a considerable shaping influence on the author's subsequent entrepreneurial experiences. Through a series of progressively risky moves -- relocating from Illinois to California, leaving the comfortable position of an accounting firm partner, launching his own business and failing ? the author takes the reader on a journey of wrestling with some of life's most profound questions: "How does one discover God's calling and then implement it?" "How is faith expressed through taking measured risks?" "What happens when we fail?" With humor and transparency, the author shares over 40 stories that illustrate powerful spiritual and everyday life themes such as overcoming failure, building meaningful relationships, passionately pursuing purpose and aligning one's story with God's bigger story.
