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!

An ENDORSEMENT:
“As a small business owner, my husband and I have experienced both
success and challenges. The Christian Capitalist reminded me that going to church isn’t the only way to worship God. By working hard and giving to others, I share the blessings God has given to me and my family with others.” - Elizabeth Cranston, Esq., Chief Executive Officer, Cana, LLC, Washington, DC.
I wasn't too sure what to expect from a title of "The Christian Capitalist" by Rich Sanders. I was very intrigued by the title so I decided to take a chance and read it.
I am VERY glad I took the chance on this book. Rich Sanders has really done extensive research on what the Bible says about Money and working hard to achieve success as Christians. I think the one thing that really comes to mind when I read this book is being a cheerful Giver.
2 Corinthians 9:6-8
Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.
The author really explains how Christians can work hard and give generously. We cannot take our "riches" with us to heaven, so here on earth we should give back to others. I LOVE that the author really gives Biblical examples of how Christians can be "capitalist's"! The book is well written and encouraging. I HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone who needs encouragement in handling Money with a Biblical Perspective. Rich Sanders has lived this life that he entails in this book and he is a WONDERFUL example to others! GREAT BOOK!
