Jesus Inc. – A Divine Comedy/Tragedy of Faith, Power, and the Business of Belief
Behind the dazzling lights, powerful sermons, and awe-inspiring worship of Old Rugged Cross Church lies something far more complex—a system. One that lifts people up, but also lets them down. That inspires, but sometimes exploits. That seeks to serve, but struggles with its own soul.
Jack thought he was answering the call to ministry. Instead, he stepped into the inner workings of a multimillion-dollar megachurch—where faith meets franchise, leadership is performance art, and success is measured in metrics. As he climbs the ranks, he experiences both the beauty and the brokenness of the modern the moments of genuine faith and community, alongside power struggles, financial pressures, and the fine line between vision and vanity.
But when one brave voice challenges the system from the pews, everything is put to the test.
More than just a church story, Jesus Inc. is a modern Divine Comedy, offering sharp wit and deep insight into the way large organizations—religious or corporate—function. Like Dante critiquing the leadership and church of his time including references of pop culture, this novel blends humor and heart to reveal both the good and challenges of the modern megachurch model. It’s a must-read for anyone interested in leadership, organizational culture, and the sometimes messy, always meaningful, pursuit of faith.
Prepare to laugh, cry, and rethink everything you thought you knew about church, leadership, and ambition. Whether you love the megachurch model or have been disillusioned by it, this story invites you to see both its promise and its pitfalls.
Wickedly sharp, darkly funny, and painfully real, Jesus Inc. is a must-read for fans of The Righteous Gemstones, The Wolf of Wall Street, and The Handmaid’s Tale.

Review 1:
The script’s subject matter is unique and nicely specific, and the script explores the facets of its world well. It clearly shows how the takedown campaigns it presents can gradually develop and how exploitation can occur behind the scenes of an organization.

Reading this quirky little book called, Jesus, Inc. it already has two holds on it and a second purchased and on its way so those wanting to read don’t have to wait too long. I probably should’ve ordered a box of copies.
It’s a can’t-put-down-read-in-the-starbucks-line book and feels like I’ve lived it. Weird how fiction feels so similar.
