Our money, our values explores three critical steps for churches, community leaders and individuals to effectively and fundamentally transform their relationship with money into a positive tool for advocacy, building community and increasing social values, so that they not merely proclaim and affirm that they believe in a just and sustainable world but live out those values in every dimension of their personal and communal lives.
In a sequential manner, the book addresses how money is psychologically and socially connected to everyday life, while identifying and exploring shared social values, and shedding light on how money is infused into communities, starting with personal relationships and then extending to larger communities of neighborhoods, city, faith communities, state, nation, and then the world-wide human community. Each chapter offers ways to apply and transform an individual's or community's relationship with money into a means of service for a social, just and sustainable world.
