Managing money is not just a technical exercise, but a spiritual discipline. There is an active power behind money, which Jesus unmasked. He stated, that "you cannot serve both God and Mammon." Monkey Business is all about managing our money wisely. The monkey is 'mammon', who is constantly seeking to destroy our relationship with God and our neighbor! This book uses the parable of Jesus, told in Luke, chapter 16 and verses 1 to 15, called in many translations 'The Unjust Steward.' This book will explain how his master called the steward 'shrewd,' and how we can deal 'shrewdly' with money in all our daily affairs. Peter describes how the clever monkey tries to trick us in ignoring Gods ways and in using people instead of serving them. He gives very practical ways in which to become shrewd managers of Gods resources, using money to benefit people, helping them to enjoy Gods Kingdom. How does mammon affect our financial decisions? How can, the influence of mammon be overcome? How can we use our money in a way that God would want us to?
