The economic wisdom of the scriptures is critical in engaging the complex issues of families and New Zealand society in the global world. Ten principles of economics - love, productivity, creativity, cooperation, work and rest, simplicity, redistribution, management, ownership, freedom and celebration - are a basis for Economic Discipleship. These are applied to critical issues for Kiwis. How do we live in a debt-laden economy? What are principles of land rights and ownership? What are the ethics of government asset sales? How do the scriptural principles apply to the current TPPA trade agreement issues? A must read for anyone engaged in seeking justice! A must read for New Zealand Christian leaders!

<p>Companion to the Poor This paradigm-shifting book has become a best-selling classic, translated into six languages, republished yearly for 30 years. It keeps upending the lifestyles of each decade of idealist seekers for genuine spirituality. Over a thousand workers have ended up in the slums of the world's mega-cities after reading it. It is the story of a young man's struggle in the slum of Tatalon, Manila. A struggle to find a way to live among the poor, preach good news to the poor, and transform the poverty. Entering into poverty, struggling with sickness, rejection and the many experiences of engagement in a dark place, out of it came the formation of a faith community and the birthing of a new pattern of evangelical theology of preaching grace, forming communities of faith and love, effecting economic change and doing justice. The fruit of those struggles has been a plethora of movements of incarnational workers living among the 1.3 billion urban poor of the global slums. This book encapsulates the core of new paradigms of evangelical theology - justice-oriented, while proclaiming good news, caring for those on the margins while growing communities of faith, oral theology based versus book-based, apostolic versus inward, with a spirituality of both quietness and the emotional celebratory spirituality of those who must release the pains of oppression weekly, seeking transformion on this earth as a progression to the coming reign of Christ.</p>

Companion to the Poor: Christ in the Urban Slums

<p>1.4 Billion slum-dwellers. Thousands of movements of churches among them. Very spiritual churches! Yet needing to understand the Gospel of the Kingdom of God and how it impacts poverty, injustice, education, health care, environment, land rights... For twenty years a cluster of activist theologians have worked together globally to develop the MA in Transformational Urban Leadership training slum leaders in holistic theology. A domain of knowledge, Urban Poor Missiology, has developed. A style of education, or pedagogy, based on story-telling, contextual analysis, and action-reflection has emerged that includes 23 areas of knowledge. These ideas have also developed through grassroots Slum Leaders' Learning Networks. This book is a call to now scale up these ideas, multiplying Learning Networks and developing Urban Leadership Institutes in the mega-cities for both sum leaders and policy makers who can change the structures that cause the poverty of the slums. Dr Viv Grigg has pioneered movements in multiple cities among the urban poor, and written paradigm-forming books about incarnational mission in the slums, church-planting among the urban poor, apostolic orders, transformative citywide revival, theology of land rights and city leadership.</p>
