Loving the Poor, Saving the Rich

Wealth, Poverty, and Early Christian Formation

The issue of wealth and poverty and its relationship to Christian faith is as ancient as the New Testament and reaches even further back to the Hebrew Scriptures. From the beginnings of the Christian movement, the issue of how to deal with riches and care for the poor formed an important aspect of Christian discipleship. This careful study shows how early Christians adopted, appropriated, and transformed the Jewish and Greco-Roman moral teachings and practices of giving and patronage. As Helen Rhee illuminates the early Christian understanding of wealth and poverty, she shows how it impacted the formation of Christian identity. She also demonstrates the ongoing relevance of early Christian thought and practice for the contemporary church.

99 Things Women Wish They Knew Before. . Planning for Retirement

Money and emotion are two worlds that never go well together, like oil and water! Women either have a great relationship with money, or it's a disaster. With approximately 40 million baby boomers coming into retirement in America alone, the question that I have asked myself over and over again is: Are they ready? Women work their whole lives to earn their pay and make their way, all while hopefully building a successful marriage and having children. They start to think about retirement only when they reach the near-50 mark. If you start thinking about retirement in your 50s, it's too late. Having worked in the financial world for over 20 years as a financial advisor, I've spent thousands of hours meeting with clients, helping them build retirement plans, and teaching them what investing means. The most significant part of my career focuses on building relationships. For the last 6 years, I have devoted all my energy towards baby boomer women. Many reasons influenced that decision, but the biggest reason was that I had become a statistic again!! 99 THINGS WOMEN WISH THEY KNEW BEFORE PLANNING FOR RETIREMENT is your easy-to-read, easy-to-understand pocket coach to inspire you to do more for yourself where money is concerned! Get smart about your money!

Emotions not only took over people's attitudes, they actually brought down huge
corporations as well as exposed criminal investors and fraudulent behaviour. The
market behaved in ways that we have not seen since the Great Depression.
