The Search For Enough
Includes Study Guides For Groups & Individuals!
"Show me your checkbook and I will tell you what you believe" goes an
anonymous quote. Indeed, our relationship with and use of money reveals a
great deal about our values. Money, poverty, and wealth gained more of
Jesus' attention than most any other subject, yet we rarely talk about the
stuff. Money can both set us free and enslave us. Money can become a
particularly insidious evil, or it can serve as a very useful tool in the
world.
In this timely collection, Michael Schut prompts us to explore our
relationship with money, along with Henri Nouwen, Walter Brueggemann, Bill
McKibben, Lynne Twist, Jean-Bertrand Aristide, and many others. A
diversity of voices and a community-building study guide make this an ideal
resource for both individuals and groups.
"The last subject in the world I would expect to find interesting is
economics- money-but I found Michael Schut's book written with such wit,
clarity, and insight that it both enriched my understanding and delighted
my spirit."
— Frederick Buechner, author of Secrets in the
Dark: A Life in Sermons and The Yellow Leaves: A
Miscellany
"Michael Schut combines his own thinking with wonderful essays from writers
as different as humorist Dave Barry and theologian William Stringfellow.
This book deserves a place in every church discussion series and a wide
reading by all Americans.”
— John de Graaf, co-author of Affluenza: The
All-Consuming Epidemic and editor of Take Back Your
Time
“The essays in this book are incredible, but what is really exciting is the
study circle guide, for it is the small group that brings about change.”
— Cecile Andrews, author of Slow Is
Beautiful and Circle of Simplicity
