My book, Living with God and Money, is now available from Amazon for Kindle at a price of £4.95 in the UK and equivalent prices elsewhere. I am also offering complimentary copies in ePub and pdf formats on the Reflections on God and Money blogsite.
[From 13 July 2015, please contact the author for a complimentary copy.]
The book examines what Jesus of Nazareth said about money. Although I have written it primarily for Christians, I hope it will have a wider audience. Every religion struggles with the role of money in life and, just as I’ve benefited from reading books about money by Buddhists, Muslims, Jews and others, so I hope that many people will find what I’ve written thought-provoking. It is based loosely on the series of posts I did called 'JESUS and MONEY' that I did last year but a lot more information has been added.

The book is not about the technical skills necessary to handle money successfully but intended to help people develop a healthy relationship with money, to act more consistently with their own best interests and to relate with wisdom and deeper effectiveness to the people around them. And to be better disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ.
My former pastor, Dr R T Kendall, very kindly wrote a Foreword. He is the person who has done most to teach me what it is to be a Christian: if I had not heard him preach on common grace and saving grace at a Civil Service Christian Union meeting one evening in May 1977, I expect I would be a very different person today. I am grateful that a theologian of his standing has affirmed that what I’ve written is Biblically based. He also wrote that the book will, ‘open your eyes – it has mine – and will result in giving you a worldview about money generally and, should you need it, help you learn how to handle money particularly’.
I am also grateful to my present minister plus two friends, one in India and the other in Liberia, who took the time to read the manuscript and commend the book. You can read their recommendations at the Amazon site.
If you buy the book from Amazon, the royalties will help towards the cost of a paperback edition because I expect to give away most of them. Also, if you like what you read, please take a moment to post a review as this will bring it to the attention of a wider audience.
The ePub version should work on most portable book readers. The pdf version can be read on screen and has been formatted to print in ‘booklet’ format on A4 paper. As a booklet, it may be a little bulky, and you may have difficulty getting a staple through the middle, but it is manageable and a cheap way of expanding the readership.
I would welcome feedback on the book.
Philip
