Description
An honest and innovative look at our relationship to money.
Though theologians of every era have written about money, and scripture and theology provide ample material for a rich discussion of wealth and possessions, we have tremendous difficulty talking about money in the church. Therefore, congregational leaders need to know how to talk about money, and particularly how to lead a theological discussion about it and the anxiety individuals often feel.
This series of Little Books on Faith and Money is designed to foster conversations within congregations around certain principles and practices that nurture community and growth in the ongoing life of the church.
