The Christian Capitalist

As a campus pastor who serves students, I understand how young adults often feel pressured to find their worth in successful, well-paying careers. But The Christian Capitalist affirms instead that as people created in God's good image, our worth is rooted first in Jesus' free gift of grace for us rather than material possessions. Such abundant grace also empowers us to "act as Christ to our neighbors," as we give generously to others and put their needs before our own. I am eager to share this book with students who are discerning how their vocations in the world might best serve God and their neighbors.

The Christian Capitalist takes a fresh view of Holy Scripture and how it addresses work, wealth, and giving. It endeavors to set a new tone for Christian philanthropy in the 21st-Century, and it provides a helpful framework for those who are “spiritual but are not necessarily religious” but still may want to give generously to the church and/or poor and needy in their communities.
