Financial Discipleship

Managing money is not just a technical exercise, but a spiritual discipline. There is an active power behind money which Jesus unmasked and called 'mammon.' He told his followers in strong terms that, “You cannot serve both God and Mammon.” We all manage money on a daily basis. Jesus is saying that mammon is a power behind money which wants to lead us away from God's ways of handling money. 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? This book is all about managing our money wisely. The monkey is 'mammon,' a tricky, unruly creature who is constantly seeking to destroy our relationship with God and our neighbour! Money, mammon & the monkey 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 gives very practical ways in which to become shrewd managers of Gods resources, using money to benefit people, helping them to enjoy Gods Kingdom. I can heartily recommend 'Money, mammon & the monkey' for all followers of Jesus who want to grow in financial discipleship and generosity."
