Relationship Marketing and ‘Every Good Endeavor’
Read: Keller & Alsdorf: Chapter 1
As part of your Doctoral journey, you are reading Timothy Keller’s book ‘Every Good Endeavor.’
On page 41 of the hardcover version of this book, he included, “Did God create food only to provide for necessity (nutrition) and not also for delight and good cheer? So to the purpose of clothing apart from necessity (protection) was comeliness and decency. In grasses, trees, and fruits, apart from their various uses, there is the beauty of appearance and pleasantness of fragrance…Did he not, in short, render many things attractive to us, apart from their necessary use?”
