Hello Beautiful People,
I hope you enjoy a cold iced glass of tea as we enter full swing into summer. Today, the temperature hit a high of 101 degrees. As I shook my head, my husband saw golfers in our local park. They may be playing golf, but I am inside, sitting in the cool, reading a book.
I recently had the opportunity to read Rich Sanders’s new book, The Christian Capitalist: The Gospel of Hard Work and Generous Giving. Sanders is the founding pastor of Online Home Church in the Episcopal Diocese of Atlanta. Sanders follows a bi-vocational calling, serving in ministry and business. As the retired President of Southern Health Lawyers, he has practiced law for almost thirty years. Sanders is the founder of Michael’s Mission, Inc., a ministry organized to assist and serve active duty and veterans of the armed services. He is a retired volunteer chaplain at the Interfaith Airport Chapel at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport.
Reading The Christian Capitalist made me think about true success and how we can help others. Do we have a heart for philanthropy? We work hard to provide for our family. However, we must also bless others. “Everything we have is a result of God’s blessing.”
This groundbreaking new book (published in January 2024) explores 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, Sanders analyzes 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 uniquely Christian and capitalist philosophy: the Gospel of Hard Work and Generous Giving.
Sanders states that being a Christian capitalist involves giving your money, but you can also give your time. You can help others by serving at church, a soup kitchen, or a senior center. To learn more about your giving, ask God while reading this book and delve into a deeper relationship with Him.
In the interview below, Jean Thomason (of Momentual Influencers Network) speaks with Rich Sanders about the book.
