Spirituality and
Money
7 Questions That Saved
My Spiritual Life
by Bruce Rockwell
At last! Here in booklet form is the story requested by so many
attendees at conferences, retreats and workshops, as well as those sitting
in the pews, who have heard Bruce Rockwell share his own spiritual
awakening to a life of stewardship. Spirituality and Money: 7 Questions
That Saved My Spiritual Life relates his life-changing experience which
began with The. Rev. Tom Carson’s sermon based on Jesus’ parable of
the Rich Fool [Luke 12:13-34].
On that day, Dr. Carson asked seven questions that go to the very
heart of our deepest feelings about money. In answering those questions
for himself, Bruce embarked on a lifelong journey of awareness which
still continues, a journey that has had an irreversible effect on those
who have heard his powerful witness.
While Spirituality and Money:
7 Questions That Saved My Spiritual Life stands alone as excellent meditative
reading, the booklet includes an outline to guide Bible study and discussion,
making it an outstanding tool for group study and sharing. A few of the possible
uses for the booklet are adult church school classes and study groups, retreats,
and training sessions for vestries, stewardship committees and other leadership
groups.
Whether you mail this resource to
everyone in your congregation or use it for small group study, Spirituality
and Money: 7 Questions That Saved My Spiritual Life will promote meaningful
self-examination and lively discussions.
“And then I heard Dr. Carson close
the sermon very quietly with this last simple sentence: ‘Your view of money
is the chief spiritual issue of your life.’ And suddenly I knew that this
was true for me.”
