Those who heard Doug Hicks present his newest book, “Money Enough” at our church on March 21st are aware of the challenges he presents especially to people of faith.
His low key, self-effacing style disarmed us while he reviewed the inequities and inconsistencies of our culture which are alarming.
Hicks’ claims deserve a closer reading which would scrutinize his assumptions. Accepting his theses “carte blanche” is not advisable, since in fact he is calling for a revolutionary change in the way we live as individuals and as a society.
De-bunk, salute, or just call him “ridiculous” as he himself teased us to do, we cant ignore him.
So I ask those who are not faint-hearted to join in a chapter by chapter book study beginning April 7th at an hour that you find convenient. Nine chapters, nine weeks of hot discussion of “Money Enough”. Doug has offered to hear us out as we look for flaws or celebrate our agreement with his arguments.
I admit, that reading a book like this together in whatever size group we can come up with will greatly enhance my understanding of these issues. The same will be true for you also.
The senior editor of Time Magazine claims that “Money Enough” is an ideal guide for our times. “Our times” includes the greatest financial mess in our lifetime. It’s that important!
