Thanks for the kind words about the book. Actually, it does look at the moral responsibilities of the investor in Chapter 28. However, our take on the subject is different than those who subscribe to the typical viewpoint of Socially Responsible Investing (SRI). To learn more about our view on the subject, please read: http://www.soundmindinvesting.com/visitor/archives/2001/oct/feature.htm

Where this book misses the mark is failing to look at the moral responsibilty when we as Christians invest. Handing your money over to mutual funds and money managers who do not share your values is a problem for many. Can we truly expect God to bless investments in companies that oppose His Word? Though no company is perfect, there clearly are good and bad choices when it comes to selecting your investments.

As Stewards of God’s money we should seek to find companies advancing His kingdom and those helping to advance mandkind and avoid those involved in immoral business practices and those clearly opposing the principles of Our Lord.

Until now, there has only been one investment newsletter dedicated to investing written from a Christian perspective. Starting next month, we will be launching http://www.faithbasedinvestor.com as a resource to help Christian investors incorporate their morals, values, and faith into their investment portfolios.

Many Blessings,

I’m in the process of reading through it as well and am nothing short of very impressed.

You should get this book ASAP & read it through to help you employ great Christian Investing principles.
