CEO and President of Cities Project Global, Inc.
Hugh has lived in 3 global cities for 40 years and has experienced first-hand the major problems cities have. In his book “Why God Made Cities”, Timothy Keller says, “If sin has twisted the city as it’s twisted the family, and God invented the city, then we don’t abandon it – we build it.” He has experienced twisted problems of a city that can feel overwhelming and beyond repair. He has also experienced city leaders from different spheres of society successfully work together to address these problems when their collaborative efforts reflect a culture of love for one another. He believes in Isaiah 58:12: “You’ll be known as those who can fix anything, restore old ruins, rebuild and renovate, make the community livable again.”
Hugh has greatly enhanced our Flourishing Cities curriculum and has facilitated this flagship product in over 40 cities around the world. He continues to lead our educational work and has recently begun to serve as Chief Culture Officer.

An Introduction to God’s Design for Integrated Living
For decades now, I have witnessed the near non-existence of the practical intersection between faith and work. The sacred-secular divide is pervasive, rendering work forever inferior. The result is confusion and ineffectiveness as we try to straddle these two disconnected worlds. The call to return to God’s design is desperately needed, a message that can transform communities, cities, and nations. The book you hold in your hands is compact, memorable, and rich in wisdom. Properly applied, it can unlock a wonderful new freedom to be all God intended for you personally and for your work.
John D. Beckett
Chairman, The Beckett Companies Author of Loving Monday
Sometimes advancing the kingdom of God is relegated to religious activities on Sundays. Not so in this book. Bob Varney and Hugh Brandt show us in very practical and inspirational ways how people in every walk of life can advance God’s good purposes every day of the week. This is because God cares for what you do on Monday through Saturday as well. If Jesus is not Lord of all, he is not Lord at all. I encourage you to read this brief masterpiece with the intent of becoming a tsaddiq who will daily live a lifestyle of integrated kingdom service in his/her community.
David Joel Hamilton
Vice President for Strategic Innovation Youth with a Mission’s University of the Nations
This is a joyful gem of a book that invites every person to contemplate how they show up with God for their family, work, and earth-keeping, and then to live it out
Samuel E. Chiang

Drawing upon rich theological concepts, the book explores the deep-rooted connection between faith and work, unraveling biblical teachings and shedding light on the original Hebrew words that shape our understanding of vocation, community, and each person’s unique place in it all
