God's Money: Where Faith Meets Life in the World (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780979554902)

God's Money is written for everyone who has from time to time been consumed with either a lack or an excess of money, for all who seek to better understand why we do what we do with money, and how life can be simpler and more real. With 14 years experience as an accountant and 22 years as a parish priest, the author is a "retired" CPA and Personal Financial Specialist with an MBA and a former pastor with a Masters of Divinity. God's Money is the fruit of praying over, wrestling with, and preaching on countless passages on good use and misuse of money in the Hebrew and Christian scriptures. He translates Deuteronomy 10:14 ("Think! The heavens, even the highest heavens, belong to the Lord, your God, as well as the earth and everything on it") as simply "It is all God's Money." The second of eight sons of Nashville's best TV repairman and church secretary, the author also draws on the blessed experience of growing up in a household with limited finances. God's Money is designed for faith sharing groups and for individual readers. With Being Spouses, it was one of the resources the author gave to engaged couples preparing for marriage.
