Description

No issues touch us more profoundly or universally, writes Richard Foster. No topics cause more controversy. No human realities have greater power to bless or curse. No three things have been more sought after or are more in need of a Christian response. Money, Sex and Power discerns the biblical principles that enable us to live out a relevant and authentic response to the three greatest temptations of our age.Gerard Kelly writes: 'Foster follows a road few in recent years have travelled, and does so with depth, wit and down-to-earth wisdom. Don't assume for one moment that this book is anti-money, anti-sex or anti-power: the author has a healthy respect and admiration for all three as sacred gifts of a loving creator. What he does urge us to do, though, is to "live rightly" in respect of these key ares, and so to be freed into a life of creative celebration.'

Reviews

'Practical, eloquent, eclectic and compelling. Brings the adventure of faith alive in the real world...Rarely in my experience has a book so accurately diagnosed the root sicknesses of our culture and pointed so powerfully to their remedy.' -- Gerard Kelly
