The Cost of Christian Living: Currency in kingdom life
Reflections on gospel stories around the theme of money, including the Holy Week narratives
The gospels are full of references to coins, money, taxes, costs, pricing, wages, bribery and gambling.

Looking at twelve different stories – parables, miracles and encounters, six from Holy Week and six from elsewhere in the gospels – this book offers a unique perspective on the intersection of faith and finance to help you to engage in a new way with the stories of Jesus’ life and death, and to reflect on your own attitudes and choices with regards to money.
Includes group study material for Lent or any six-week period of study.
