The local bookshops are filled to the brim with books on how to get rich, but one that explores what that means and why that matters is rare. A just released book by Chad S. Hamilton does so in a way that has a surprising twist. It begins as a challenge to the normative perspective of money and patiently but boldly draws the reader into a biblical point of view through a slew of reflective questions and illuminating anecdotes and quotations. Deep Wealth: An Exploration of Money, Meaning and What Really Matters is written by a professional with years of experience assisting people in realizing their financial dreams. Hamilton's financial wisdom and deep faith form the perfect foundation for a book that is as evangelical and a call to true Christian action as it is an inspiring, financial game changer.Adhering to the metaphor of a tree, it begins with “the seeds” of wealth (or human capital). The reader is encouraged to rethink the nature of wealth, the purpose of work, and the nature of retirement. As Hamilton explains it, the old mentality that wealth is based on scarce resources has been displaced in thriving economies with an “’abundance mentality’”. It posits that wealth is boundless because it rests on human ingenuity to “manipulate and rearrange raw materials”. So, what is your unique contribution to society? These are the seeds of your wealth!Once you have determined your “seeds,” it’s time to cultivate them. The second section, “the soil” (or spiritual capital), is about doing just that. It challenges the attitudes we hold towards money.
Having an active website on the blogosphere has allowed me to connect with other authors, leaders, influencers, and decision makers from a variety of sectors and industries, and from all across the globe. And since my primary focus in life, work, and ministry, is connecting the biblical principles of disciple-making movements and apostolic church planting, with the rapidly expanding mission field that exists in today’s marketplace, I always enjoy connecting with other Kingdom-minded “change agents” and believers who are positively affecting their workplace with their faith and the power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.One such acquaintance, is Chad Hamilton, CFP ®, author of the new book, Redefining Financial Freedom: A Gospel-Based Approach to Money (PFI Publishing: Denver, 2016) and Deep Wealth: An Exploration of Money, Meaning, and What Really Matters (PFI Publishing: Denver, 2015). Chad and I share many similar interests, including both having a background in financial services, and a shared understanding of money as a heavenly resource from God, that requires intense responsibility, integrity, and stewardship.Chad’s newest book, Redefining Financial Freedom: A Gospel-Based Approach to Money (PFI Publishing: Denver, 2016) looks at three main money questions: I.) “How did you get it?” (Vocation), II.) “What are you doing with it?” (Investing), and III.) “What is it doing to you?” (Generosity). Redefining Financial Freedom is a book I’d highly recommend as it shows how true freedom is found in the Gospel of Jesus Christ, not in the idolatry or apathy of money.In this post, however, I’d like to dig deeper into Chad’s previous book, Deep Wealth: An Exploration of Money, Meaning, and What Really Matters (PFI Publishing: Denver, 2015).
