The church in the West is rediscovering the fact that God cares deeply for the poor. More and more, churches and individual Christians are looking for ways to practice economic discipleship, but it's hard to make progress when we are blind to our own entanglement in our culture's idolatrous economic beliefs and practices. Practicing the King's Economy cuts through much confusion and invites Christians to take their place within the biblical story of the "King Jesus Economy." Through eye-opening true stories of economic discipleship in action, and with a solid exploration of six key biblical themes, the authors offer practical ways for God's people to earn, invest, spend, compensate, save, share, and give in ways that embody God's love and provision for the world. Foreword by Christopher J. H. Wright.

The Christian life is to live in the present aspect of the coming kingdom of God, which includes three lives in this world. The first Christian life is to live the spiritual life by which we are in God as his children and people, in Jesus Christ as his disciples, and in Spirit as his spirituals. The second Christian life is to live the glorious economic life by which we subordinate and participate into the biblical truths in our daily economic life in terms of the identity of the economic man and woman, economic principles, production, consumption, distribution, and economic policies. The third Christian life is to live the glorious biblical life by which we live according to Jesus Christ’s teachings concerning the kingdom of God that he mentioned in the four Gospels.

This practical guide to the good life details how to enjoy a rich, satisfying lifestyle, no matter how much or how little money you have. Rather than being at the mercy of unpredictable market factors, you'll learn how to thrive in God's economy of abundance as you tap into a wealth of community and generosity.

The utterances of those entitled to speak for different groups of Christians on the industrial problem are scattered over many books, journals and pamphlets. The attempts of industrialists to show the way towards its solution, in Britain and the Dominions, and in the United States, have been many and various. What is offered here is a statement of the Christian ideal – The Kingdom of God, a collection of representative Christian utterances on what its realization today would mean, and a selection of attempts which are being made or suggested to move towards its realization in practice.

What does the good news of Jesus mean for economics? Marrying biblical study, economic theory, and practical advice, pastor Tom Nelson presents a vision for church ministry that works toward the flourishing of the local community, beginning with its poorest and most marginalized members and pushing us toward more nuanced understandings of wealth and poverty.

Nearly half of the parables taught by Jesus and over 2300 scriptures in the bible address the subject of stewardship and the economy of the Kingdom of Heaven. Managing the resources entrusted to us on earth is one of the most important "life skills", profoundly affecting our relationships, marriages, and the transfer of Kingdom wealth to future generations. In Kingdom Economics, the author explores many of the practical principles and spiritual laws that emanate from heaven's unshakable economy. This compact, easy to read book is a goldmine of lessons learned, applied truths, and a roadmap to a life of financial freedom and personal development.

“Essential and thoroughly engaging...Harvey Cox’s ingenious sense of how market theology has developed a scripture, a liturgy, and sophisticated apologetics allow us to see old challenges in a remarkably fresh light.” —E. J. Dionne, Jr. We have fallen in thrall to the theology of supply and demand. According to its acolytes, the Market is omniscient, omnipotent, and omnipresent. It can raise nations and ruin households, and comes complete with its own doctrines, prophets, and evangelical zeal. Harvey Cox brings this theology out of the shadows, demonstrating that the way the world economy operates is shaped by a global system of values that can be best understood as a religion. Drawing on biblical sources and the work of social scientists, Cox points to many parallels between the development of Christianity and the Market economy. It is only by understanding how the Market reached its “divine” status that can we hope to restore it to its proper place as servant of humanity. “Cox argues that...we are now imprisoned by the dictates of a false god that we ourselves have created. We need to break free and reclaim our humanity.” —Forbes “Cox clears the space for a new generation of Christians to begin to develop a more public and egalitarian politics.” —The Nation

...tell them the Kingdom of Heaven is at Hand. In the beginning God created... Before the foundation of time God created and put into motion all the natural and spiritual laws that govern everything on earth and in the universe. Knowing, understanding and walking in these laws will always position you to continually experience His best in your life, thus entering into His rest. "Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." Matthew 11:28 In the world there are certain laws and principles that govern economics, such as the law of supply and demand. In the Kingdom of God there are also certain laws and principles governing economics. Some are parallel to the world's laws and some are opposing. Jesus devoted a significant part of His ministry to teaching about money matters and economic principles.
