Weaving together the attractiveness of a short story, the power of scripture interpretation, and information gleaned from years of experience, Dwight Short provides insight and motivation for financial investors who are concerned about being good stewards. "Profit or Principles: Investing Without Compromise" uses the powerful tool of storytelling to explain the basics of Biblically Responsible Investing. As you read this book you will be caught up in the tale of a man named Scott. As he learned what it truly means to be a faithful steward in the eyes of Jesus, you will discover how the lesson applies to your life as well. "Profit or Principles" will help you discover the answers to the following questions: -Is there a conflict between earning a profit and remaining true to my Christian principles when it comes to investing? -Is it possible to know what types of activities I am supporting with my investments? -What should I do if I discover a specific investment provides resources for an offensive activity? -In this economy, if my investments are making money should I be concerned about what the investments are funding? This is not a technical book describing all the workings of Biblically Responsible Investing. Instead, it is primer, an introduction to how it can help a follower of Jesus accomplish financial goals without having to sacrifice spiritual integrity. Author Dwight Short, in his first book "Kingdom Gains," provided a very thorough explanation of Biblically Responsible Investing. In "Profit or Principles," you will be motivated to investigate this type of investing. Every faithful follower of Jesus wants to be in the position to hear the Master say, "Well done, good and faithful servant." There is not really a conflict between being faithful to spiritual principles and earning a good return. Often, the only conflict is if the investor is unwilling to make the necessary changes to accomplish both.
