Synopsis

It's critical that Christianity discovers ways to make the Gospel practical in a culture that changes so rapidly it's impossible to keep up. This book does just that, telling a story that is both inspiring yet relatable so that anyone—regardless of belief system—can say, 'wow, I'm not sure if I believe in Jesus, but there's something to this, and we need more of it.' -Richard Rohr, O.F.M.

The Definition of Success tells the unlikely story of a recent graduate from an elite college who abandons the upper middle class aspirations of his upbringing by ditching his plans for grad school and voluntarily checking into a homeless shelter.

Funny, heartbreaking, and deeply challenging, through encounters with the homeless this story confronts the things society tells us to blindly accept. We join Derek as he asks questions about success, and we watch him grapple with his beliefs in a religiously hypocritical culture. What he learns among the homeless forces the reader to re-examine their way of living, and their definition of success.

By living homeless Derek experiences first-hand the many barriers that prevent his friends from breaking free of the homeless cycle. In response, Derek forms a socially-innovative employment agency that ultimately becomes a multi-million dollar organization. This book is for those who are looking for meaning in their life and purpose in their vocation, or who question the things their society or religious upbringing tells them must be true.
