About the Book
Book: The White Stone: Faith at the Edge of the Deal
Author: Scott Meinke
Genre: Contemporary Christian Fiction
Release Date: November, 2025
In the high-pressure world of corporate success, the lines between ambition, compromise, and faith are rarely clear. The White Stone tells the story of a driven professional forced to confront a question many believers face but few talk about openly: What does faithfulness look like when the cost is real- and the reward is unseen?
Rooted in the message to the church in Pergamum (Revelation 2), The White Stone explores integrity under pressure, the slow erosion of conviction, and the grace that calls us back when we’ve settled for less than we were made for.
This is a story for anyone who has wrestled with success, struggled with compromise, or wondered whether quiet obedience still matters in a results-driven world.

More from Scott
What if the biggest risk isn’t losing your job… but losing your soul?
We don’t drift all at once.
It happens in small decisions. Quiet compromises. Moments no one else sees.
The White Stone: Faith at the Edge of the Deal steps into that tension.
Luke Chambers is building a career, a reputation, a future.
From the outside, everything is working.
But inside, the questions are getting louder.
How far is too far?
When does success start costing more than it’s worth?
And what happens when doing the right thing threatens everything you’ve built?
This isn’t just a story about business.
It’s about integrity under pressure.
About faith in the gray areas.
About the quiet line we all face—the one between who we appear to be and who we are becoming.
Because the real danger isn’t failure.
It’s becoming someone you never intended to be… and calling it success.
But this is also a story of hope.
Of second chances.
Of truth breaking through.
Of what can be restored when courage finally outweighs control.
And beyond the pages, this story is part of something bigger—
supporting real lives and real work happening in Vietnam through Did Over Should Ministries.
Author Interview
What was the inspiration behind the story?
The inspiration came from a sermon series on the seven churches in Revelation. The message to Pergamum—a church living in a culture of compromise—really challenged me.
It caused me to reflect on my own life and career and ask what it truly looks like to live out your faith Monday through Friday, not just on Sunday. That question became the foundation for the story.
What was the most challenging part of bringing this book to life?
The most challenging part was staying honest and authentic while telling the story. It required drawing from real experiences and emotions, especially around struggle, compromise, and surrender.
Balancing that with a compelling narrative—while still honoring the Scripture it’s based on—was not always easy.
What was the most rewarding?
The most rewarding part has been seeing how the story connects with people. Hearing from readers—whether business leaders, small groups, or individuals—who found something meaningful in it has been incredibly encouraging.
It’s also rewarding to know that the book is contributing to something bigger, with all proceeds going toward Kingdom work and helping support ministry efforts in Vietnam.
What do you hope readers will take away from the book?
I hope readers walk away challenged and encouraged—to examine their own lives and consider what it looks like to live with greater integrity and faithfulness.
More than anything, I hope the story helps people recognize the subtle pull toward compromise and inspires them to choose conviction instead.
And if it also points them toward a greater purpose—both in their own lives and in supporting Kingdom work—then it’s done exactly what I hoped it would do.
Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions. Before you go, where can readers keep up with what’s next?
The best place to keep up with what’s next is through my Amazon author page or on LinkedIn, where I’ll be sharing updates as new projects develop.
I’ve found the writing side of this journey to be incredibly enjoyable—marketing, on the other hand, has been a bit more of a challenge. So part of what’s next for me is simply being more visible and intentional about sharing the journey and what’s coming.
I’d love for readers to follow along as the story continues.
