Living with God and Money


My new book, Living with God and Money, is now available from Amazon for Kindle at £4.95 in the UK and equivalent prices elsewhere.

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 because every religion struggles with the role of money in life. Just as I’ve benefited from reading books about money by Buddhists, Muslims, Jews and others, I hope that many people will find what I’ve written thought-provoking.

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.

My former pastor at Westminster Chapel, 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.

Two complimentary editions of the book are available here. The ePub edition should work on most major electronic book readers. The pdf edition can be read on screen but it's designed to print in 'booklet' format on A4 paper: it is a little bulky, and you may have trouble getting a staple through the middle, but it is manageable and a cheap way of circulating copies.

[From 13 July 2015, please contact the author for a complimentary copy.]

If you buy the book from Amazon, however, the royalties will help towards the cost of a paperback edition, which I hope will be ready towards the end of July, because I expect to give away most of them. Also, if you buy from Amazon and like what you read, please take a moment to post a review as this will help promote the book to a wide audience.
