Overview
A guide to investing in heaven and being ārich toward GodāĀ
Christians often hesitate to talk about money in spiritual contexts, but in the gospels Jesus talks more about money than about āreligiousā topics like prayer and heaven.Ā Money MattersĀ advocates following Jesusās lead in engaging with matters of economy and finance in a faith-driven way, in both our individual and our corporate lives. The authors draw on their contrasting life experiences to offer a well-rounded look at money in the twenty-first century. Paul Stevens, who grew up well-off in Canada and worked as a carpenter, a banker, and later a pastor and professor of theology, finds a complementary voice in Clive Lim, who grew up without money in Singapore, and now works there as an entrepreneur and head of a family investment firm. With frequent scriptural references, Stevens and Lim offer insight into navigating the economic systems of today, aiming to help individuals, churches, and societies become faithful stewards who store up ātreasures in heavenā by investing in the kingdom of God.Ā
Money MattersĀ is a comprehensive yet accessible guide to integrating oneās faith with oneās approach to money. Just as the Bible variously treats money as a blessing, a sacrament, and a problem, so do Stevens and Lim approach this matter judiciouslyāavoiding the prosperity gospel on one side and the demonization of material wealth on the other. Capitalism is treated as what it is: a system that has created widespread opportunity and relieved poverty for millions while also exacerbating the gap between the haves and the have-nots. The authorsā wisdom is at turns theological, historical, and practicalāand always focused on what it means to live with faithful integrity in our contemporary global economy.
