“Successful entrepreneurs all have something in common: a pas-sion for their work. At the same time, this passion is often their pitfall—broken relationships, burn-outs, no money/no rest, and so on. I consider Wouter Droppers to be one of the most inspiring leaders I have been privileged to meet. A brilliant businessman with an unprecedented passion for people. His book, The Jerusa-lem Entrepreneur,is a must-read for every entrepreneur who wants to combine business success with personal well-being.”

“I can highly recommend this book by Wouter Droppers. Due to many years in business, Wouter knows who he’s dealing with. He knows the tricks of the trade. In this book, he depicts the con-trast between two symbolic cities with two business cultures. I was reminded of the first lines of Charles Dickens’ A Tale of Two Cities.It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incre-dulity, it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair…“We are now experiencing a similar paradox. Which way shall we choose? Wouter gives practical guidance to give this form in entrepreneurship and doing business, in the knowledge that God is the ultimate master builder of the New City.”

“I found the book by Wouter Droppers to be an excellent read! I highly recommend this book. It will help you navigate your faith in your work, which is the purposeof our lives. It is a must-read! Many of us businesspersons have questions about how we con-tribute to the well-being of our employees, vendors, customers, and to our healthy self-interest. How does one balance that in a way that honors God in all that we do? What would Jesus do? This book will assist you in achieving that balance.”

“This book provides a personal testimony of how Jesus Christ is relevant to doing business in thesedynamic, challenging times. It is the account of a trial-and-error journeythat turns conflicts of interest into healing love for ourselves and others. This book is recommended for anyone looking for purpose and meaning in work and in doing business.”
