Culture Consciousness and the Games of God

Book excerpt: The Holy Bible has long been one of the top selling books in the world. People view the Bible in many different ways. While Christians consider it to be the divine written Word of God, others consider it to be just another book. Regardless of how you view the Bible, it does set forth some pragmatic concepts about money and how it should be perceived. Money is obviously an important topic in the Bible since it is mentioned about three times more often than sin, four times more often than prayerand six times more often than the second coming of Jesus Christ! In fact, almost half of Jesus' parables were about money. The purpose of this book is to provide the reader some basic ideas and principles for investing and managing money as presented throughout the Bible.
