The Christian Capitalist Overview
The Christian Capitalist explores various scriptural references that support twin pillars of Christian belief: 1) working hard to make a productive benefit from talents and materials that God has provided all people; and 2) giving generously to share those benefits with our neighbors in the name of Jesus Christ.
Through a discussion of Holy Scripture, it analyzes various passages that relate to these concepts of productivity and generosity, along with two thousand years of history discussing the good works of Christians as examples. Ultimately, this book develops a philosophy that is uniquely Christian and capitalist: the Gospel of Hard Work and Generous Giving!

The Christian Capitalist Review
It seems as though you cannot watch or read anything lately without some mention of the economy and the growing disparity between rich and poor. Poverty is growing, it seems, everywhere you look. Most people agree with this. However, the question is what can or should we do about it?
I hear so much about how capitalism doesn’t work if you are a Christian. But, people often forget about the story of Joseph of Arimathea. This book helps readers understand that you can be a believer in capitalism and a Christian at the same time.
The key is that working hard to earn more needs to include giving back to those in need. Money isn’t the root of evil. The love of money is. The Christian Capitalist talks about work, wealth and giving back. It’s written for 21st century Christians and those that are “spiritual but not necessarily religious.”
This book is written in an easy to enjoy style that includes information and facts about today’s workforce as well as Bible stories that show how you can relate today to the Bible stories of yesterday. I so enjoyed the stories of The Golden Rule and The Tax Collector. They are timeless and easily still applicable today.
Who will enjoy this book?
You will enjoy this book if you believe in giving back to the community and those in need whether you are a Christian or not. It’s not written for a specific denomination but rather for people believe in working hard and giving to others.
