Synopsis

While “health and wealth” proponents urge Christians to claim for themselves material blessings, others insist that God’s best gifts can’t be enjoyed until heaven. The truth of God’s intentions, writes acclaimed author Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove, is far greater than either perspective suggests.Packed with inspiring stories, God’s Economy invites readers to step into the good life God intends his people to enjoy here and now—not a shrink-wrapped, plastic version of prosperity but a liberating approach to living that leads to genuine and lasting satisfaction.With persuasive enthusiasm, Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove draws from the teachings of Jesus on money and explores five tactics for living in God’s economy of abundance. Rather than being subject to unpredictable market factors, those who live by God’s economy find their security in the richness of community and generosity.

Goodreads review by Adam on May 25, 2011

Short review: Many times I read Christian books on economics and it is either good on economics or theology, rarely is it good on both. Wilson-Hartgrove is trying to redefine our understanding of economics so he does not really care whether he is good on economics or not. This is a book told from so......more

Goodreads review by Katie on December 10, 2009

Perhaps the prosperity that God has in mind for us is far better than anything we could ever buy or earn? This book made me uncomfortable quite a bit while reading it, not because I didn't agree with the message, but because I knew what he was saying was right on.......more

A short and heartfelt book explaining the author's views on how Jesus really meant for us to spend and use money. Provides insight into compassion, even for those we don't like; a sharing economy, and communal living. The book is full of anecdotes and discussions of scripture. It presents some chall......more
