Now in paperback, this challenging and provocative
book strips the veneer from the financial advice of
some popular evangelical media celebrities and advocates
a reintegrating of faith and finances.
Faithful Finances 101 is a first-person narrative by
an outspoken advocate of faith-based investing. A
senior vice president of investments at Paine Webber
before founding his own investment firm as "counsel
to ethical and spiritual investors," Gary Moore warns
that much of the economic advice emanating from
some popular and influential evangelical authors and
speakers is based on scare tactics and distortions of
what the Bible has to say about finances. He draws on
fifty years of studying the Bible, politics, and economics,
and presents insights for those who want to
be faithful in their finances—to use one hundred percent
of the time, talent, and treasure with which they
have been entrusted for the glory of God as well as
for the benefit of others and themselves, and not just
give ten percent of their incomes to the church.
"Many financial gurus are ignorant of spiritual
matters. Many spiritual leaders are ignorant of
financial matters. In a rare blend, Gary Moore brings
together proven financial expertise with mature
spiritual insights. This book is a must read for those
who care about managing their finances faithfully."
—David W. Miller, Ph.D., Yale Center for Faith
and Culture, Yale Divinity School
"The book is hard-hitting, thought-provoking, and
intellectually challenging, offering a Christian view of
macroeconomics rather than a mere how-to guide for
personal finance."
