Biblically Responsible Investing: On Wall Street as It Is In Heaven, Christian Finance Book on Faithful Investment, Inspiring Money Investing Books

by Robert Netzly

If you asked Christian entrepreneurs to invest in a new abortion clinic in town, all the faithful ones would say, “Absolutely not.”But something similar is happening when Christians invest in many investment funds. For example, the Vanguard S&P 500 is one of the most popular funds, and it grows with the sales of abortion services.

This book inspires Christians everywhere to stop investing in God’s enemies and shift their wealth toward investments that build God’s kingdom on Wall Street as it is in heaven.

BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager and secular investment firm, boasts of a $3–$4 trillion fund. According to Pew Research, there is $22.4 trillion walking around in Christian church members’ pockets in America. Christians could collectively buy Amazon, Google, and Apple four times over!

The time is now for Christians to invest the Hell out of their money.

Helpful, biblical perspective on investing.

[Jim Becker · Rating 4 out of 5]

Introductory with some good ideas with Scripture. Short and to the point. Helpful for many.

A primer on biblically responsible investing: Financial returns are the product of business activities, and sharing in those returns as a shareholder is an implicit endorsement of a firm’s actions. This framework calls believers to align their portfolios with their beliefs endorsing what is good, engaging where influence is possible, and excluding what is sinful. A short book that still felt longer than it needed to be.

Incredibly convicting. We need to think of our investments in terms of worship and obedience, and Netzly provides a clear and practical way to make that a reality. Biblically Responsible Investing is what we need to be doing if we want to see actual change in the current state of our world

[Isaiah Fisher · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book has given me a lot to think about. I haven’t really put much thought into what evils I might be supporting with my investing. Now I have, and it’s not pretty.

“Immediately the Holy Spirit gripped my heart. Here I was, the president of our local pro-life pregnancy center, and I owned stocks in three different companies that were manufacturing abortion drugs. It struck me that every time a young lady walked into the Planned Parenthood across the street and had an abortion, I was profiting from that transaction. With God’s money, no less.”

“As a Christian, wisdom requires you to be a fool—in business, family, investing, and every other area of life. You will be called on by Wisdom to make decisions that seem like folly to bystanders.”

“Trust in the Lord’s goodness. Submit to His Word. Silence the snake. Love God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength. And investments.”

Overall, great.
Minus the "abortion-vulnerable" usage.
And the Francis Chan reference.

Even if you do not read the book itself (which rolls in around 120 pages), the idea of Biblically Responsible Investing needs to be dealt with by every Christian.
