Money Enough: Everyday Practices for Living Faithfully in the Global Economy

Summary

In this new volume for the Practices of Faith Series, Douglas Hicks looks at how Christian faith applies to economic life--spending, saving, giving, etc., especially as an alternative to a life of unbridled consumerism. This book offers reflections for people of faith and other curious readers who want to connect their Monday through Saturday lives with their faith and live a more integrated Christian life. It offers choices beyond adopting the so-called "prosperity gospel" of some popular evangelical preachers on the one hand or going for a determined "opting out" on the other--or just ignoring the implications of how our economic lives have spiritual consequences. In this especially perilous economic time, Hicks' level-headed, thoughtful reflections on Christian practices of getting and spending will be particularly welcome to readers of all ages and Christian denominations.
