Praise for Money Enough If your eyes glaze over when you see the word 'economics,' or if your eyelids droop when you hear the word 'theology,' don't fear. Doug Hicks integrates economics and theology with such clarity and accessibility that you'll see both in a new light: as vital resources to help us care for our global household with love and wisdom. -Brian McLaren, author, A New Kind of Christian and A Generous Orthodoxy (brianmclaren.net) In a world where most discussions of money are neither practical nor wise, Doug Hicks offers here a large dose of Christian practical wisdom. His wonderful illustrations and incisive analysis deserve a wide readership, especially in churches where we have pretended that how we deal with money is irrelevant to discipleship. - L. Gregory Jones, dean of the Divinity School and professor of theology, Duke University How should people of faith live in a world that extols consumption, erases work/life boundaries, and worships the market? Religious institutions have largely provided two unsatisfying alternatives: embrace some sort of prosperity gospel or retreat into an ascetic lifestyle. In this fantastically insightful and important book, Doug Hicks charts another way. It is the ideal guide for our times. -Amy Sullivan, senior editor, TIME magazine, and author, The Party Faithful
