Synopsis: Money. Such a little word . . . with such explosive
power. For love of money reputations have been ruined, marriages
have been destroyed, lifelong friendships have been torn apart,
whole nations have bled. For lack of money kingdoms have crumbled,
corporations have foundered, lives have faded, dreams have died.
But what about us ordinary folk? Most of us spend more time
thinking about money (worrying, planning, earning, spending,
counting, hoping, envying) than about almost any other subject. So
what's money got to do with following Jesus? A great deal,
actually. Money is no side issue in the Bible. It's talked about
extensively. Just Money offers both insights and suggestions as to
how we can live a life of faith in a culture in love with the
dollar. Be prepared for some surprises. Endorsements: "Kirkland
calls us to a realistic appraisal of how to live out our
commitments to Christ while dealing realistically with the material
demands made upon us, so far as personal and family requisites
demand. This book is not only filled with good biblical insights as
to how to deal with money matters, but it raises a host of
questions, which Kirkland calls Christians to reflect on and
resolve as they seek to, in the words of Kierkegaard, 'work out
their salvation with fear and trembling.'" -- From the Foreword by
Tony Campolo, Eastern University "Small business owner Wayne
Kirkland runs a successful business, yet takes the Bible's critique
of money and wealth seriously. Instead of giving an answer to the
tensions, he actually tries out biblical ideas like service,
generosity, simplicity, and hospitality. In Just Money he shows you
how to live authentically by God's word, yet still be effective in
today's economy." --William Messenger, Executive Editor of Theology
of Work Project Author Biography: Wayne Kirkland is married to Jill

He is author or coauthor of several books, including Light from a
