Monkey Business: The Parable Of The Shrewd Manager

How can Christians invest responsibly while remaining faithful to their values, responsibilities and eternal priorities?

Invest: To Live, Love and Last approaches investing from the perspective of a financial disciple of Jesus. It is not presented as an expert manual or a promise of investment success. Instead, Peter J. Briscoe describes the journey of a Christian who has surplus funds to invest and wants to manage them with wisdom, purpose and biblical stewardship.

Part One examines the mission behind investing: to live, to love and to last. It encourages readers to consider why they invest and what they ultimately want their resources to accomplish.

Part Two uses the metaphor of a car journey to explore the process of investing. It considers the destination, the driver, the fuel required for the journey, the decisions that must be made, the direction of travel and how an investor knows when the intended destination has been reached.

Part Three provides an overview of different investment vehicles, examining their risks, their potential impact and the biblical considerations connected with each type of investment.

Invest: To Live, Love and Last encourages Christian investors to think beyond financial returns. It invites readers to consider how their investments can provide for present and future needs, reflect their beliefs, support worthwhile companies and initiatives, and contribute to positive and lasting impact.
