Author Gillin presents a credible case for events and accomplishments in the life of Jesus, identified here as a rare but recognizable social entrepreneur who utilized subtle and natural forces to encourage meaningful choices and actions among his followers. For this noteworthy thesis, the author mines his own experience-based knowledge both as a devout Christian and as an acknowledged expert in entrepreneurship. He depicts Jesus prior to his baptism as a human with human feelings, like others of his socio-political culture, exploring life and identifying his role as do those who possess EM (the entrepreneurial mindset) and are able to see beyond usual boundaries and restrictions of society and technology and solve significant problems. After his baptism, Jesus developed etheric powers to promulgate his message concerning God’s wishes for mankind. Gillin’s erudite work offers postulations regarding Jesus’ deeds enhanced by scientific and academic underpinning, showing his entrepreneurial impetus for mankind designed with the needs of those of his day and beyond, adding value and expansion to their lives.

Gillin, Professor Emeritus of Entrepreneurship and Innovation at Swinburne University, has dedicated himself to this unusual subject spurred by his spiritual convictions, his historical research, and his wide range of international career plateaus that have created contacts in the fields of discovery related here. The book paints a portrait of Jesus’ miraculous actions—conversion of water to wine, walking on the sea, and calming a storm—as seen in the light of scientifically supported explanations. With contributions from respected contacts combined with his notable narrative skills, Gillin offers this work with the hope that it will inform and convince readers of the principles plainly stated: that Jesus was a man of highly exceptional intellectual and spiritual intelligence whose purpose was to help others appreciate and utilize the gifts from God’s realm.
