Faithful Finances 101 – From the Poverty of Fear and Greed to the Riches of Spiritual Investing
Autor Gary Mooreen Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 apr 2005
Faithful Finances 101 is a first-person narrative by an outspoken advocate of faith-based investing. A senior vice president of investments at Paine Webber before founding his own investment firm as "counsel to ethical and spiritual investors," Gary Moore warns that much of the economic advice emanating from some popular and influential evangelical authors and speakers is based on scare tactics and distortions of what the Bible has to say about finances. He draws on fifty years of studying the Bible, politics, and economics and presents insights for those who want to be faithful in their finances—to use 100 percent of the time, talent, and treasure with which they have been entrusted for the glory of God as well as for the benefit of others and themselves, and not just give 10 percent of their incomes to the church.

Recenzii
"Many financial gurus are ignorant of spiritual matters. Many spiritual leaders are ignorant of financial matters. Gary Moore brings together proven financial expertise with mature spiritual insights in a rare blend. This book is a must-read for those who care about managing their finances faithfully."
—David W. Miller, PhD, Yale Center for Faith and Culture, Yale Divinity School
"The book is hard-hitting, thought-provoking, and intellectually challenging, offering a Christian view of macroeconomics rather than a mere how-to guide for personal finance."
