Jesus and Proverbs
Proverbs says, “The rich man’s wealth is his strong city,” but Jesus said, “Blessed be ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God.” How do we reconcile the teachings of Jesus about money and business with the succinct pronouncements of Proverbs? Are they really contradictory? Perhaps Proverbs gives us the “how” and Jesus teaches us the “why” related to material endeavors. A thought-provoking read! 128 pages; paperback.
