Jesus, Money and Work
ebook
|
In this brief ebook, adapted and expanded from chapter 8 of his longer work, Living into the Life of Jesus, Klaus Issler offers a biblical study on three key topics:
Issler focuses on the life and teaching of Jesus as recorded in the Gospels. He includes a distinctive section on Jesus' young adulthood as a builder and interacts with recent Christian business literature. He ends each of the three main chapters with suggested "prayer projects" to help you reflect on the examples of Jesus' life and workâand apply them to your own life and work.
"The desire to become more Christ-like sometimes gets translated into a list of does and don'ts which, quite frankly, can be more burdensome than joyful. In contrast, Klaus Issler draws from the teachings of Jesus to provide a fresh perspective on achieving genuine character change [with an] emphasis on the redemptive potential of marketplace activity and personal wealth."
"Klaus Issler tackles the tough topics of money, the marketplace and generosity. He begins by shattering the notion that Jesus was a simple carpenter and shows us how, as a master builder, Jesus spoke to the workplace and business leaders about closing the 'Sunday-Money gap' and living life as a generous giver."
