I bought this at the library book sale on Sa 6/10/17 and it was the first one that I read. I bought nine books; five hardbacks and four trades (this book was a trade). Two a piece for the hardbacks, and a buck for the rest. There were no actual paperbacks on sale this year.
Finished Su 6/11/17.
I am not much for religious books, but this one was terrific. It's Jesus's economic philosophy applied to the contemporary world. It's not necessary to accept any divine interpretation, but you can focus on what he said in the bible. This is NOT what is normally taught about Jesus or Christianity, and I'm sure that this would not be recommended over at Calvary Academy, but I will definitely recommend this to Janny.
Jesus only made twelve references to sexuality, but made thousands of observations about income disparity. Funny, how this is largely ignored by The Church.
