Good and Wealthy: Prosperous Women and Men Who Led Saintly Lives

By Ronald Quillo

Book Overview

Wondering about the propriety of wealth is fitting when economic inequality is regularly an issue. Some consider riches quite desirable. Others say that notable wealth is a personal and social blight. Christians may duly ponder whether riches are a blessing or a yoke. This book forthrightly acknowledges biblically based reservations among Christians regarding possessions. But it further affirms the respectability if not the suitability of virtuously acquiring and deploying substantial financial assets. In its pages sacred scripture, spirituality, and theology are readably considered. The main part of the book colorfully depicts laypersons of various historical eras. These seven women and nine men have gained recognition and invited emulation. They modeled practical faith, charity, and exemplary citizenship that promoted justice in their worlds. Their spiritualties, entrepreneurial talents, and managerial strategies affirm many generous persons today.

Insightful, informative and encouraging!

If you’ve ever found yourself challenged — like a camel attempting to pass through the eye of a needle — to find a balance between material comforts and the call to holiness, this is the book for you! Ron Quillo explores the life lessons and spiritual habits practiced by nearly two dozen saints and venerables, all of whom were among the “1%-ers” of their time. His research will open your eyes to new ways of perceiving wealth and its potential impact on spirituality. It’s an informative and encouraging take, offering an authentically Christian path for navigating through the temptations of a materialistic age. Highly recommended!
