Kingdom Gains: What Every Christian Should Know Before Investing, and How to Use Socially and Biblically Responsible Investments (BRI) as a Steward of God's Money

by Dwight Short, Ron Blue (Introduction)

Overview

God owns it all! But you have been called to be HIS portfolio manager! In the complex world of finance that we experience today, Christian Financial Adviser and author, Dwight Short, CIMA, explains how investors, advisers, and clergy can respond to this challenge. In Kingdom Gains, you will find both practical and theological points to help you bridge the gap between the gains in your portfolio and spiritual growth as well. Does God really care how we make money? If it matters to God, should it matter to you? Most believers have not wrestled with this question and the author of Kingdom Gains confesses to not having dealt with it for a long time either. You will find a guilt free challenge to examine your investing habits and take it to the Lord in prayer!

About the Author

Dwight L. Short, Retired (1971-2005), First Vice President-Investments, Merrill Lynch
CIMA (Certified Investment Management Analyst) CIMA
CFM (Certified Financial Manager, ML)
Wealth Management Advisor
Dwight grew up on a family farm in Delta, Ohio and has three siblings. His mother was a schoolteacher, and his father farmed. He graduated from Bowling Green State University (1967) as a math major and Case Western Reserve (1970) where he obtained his MBA in banking and finance. At Merrill Lynch, his practice emphasis was a dual relationship with individual and institutional clients to convert complex strategies into easy to understand choices for sophisticated clients, and those not familiar with the capital markets.
In 1999, Dwight became a member of the National Association of Christian Financial Consultants and a member of Kingdom Advisors in 2005. He is a founding trustee of In His Steps Foundation, a Christian Community Foundation. He continues to help in a variety of ministry activities in Northeast Ohio. He has been an active member of Cuyahoga Valley Community Church, CVCC (Broadview Hts., Ohio) since the mid 1990s, and has participated on several different mission trips. He is currently attending Idlewild Baptist Church in Lutz (Tampa), Florida, while supporting the Kingdom Advisors activities in the Tampa area.
Dwight has published a weekly devotional known as the Monday Morning Message (MMM) on his website DLSConsult.com since 2003. The MMM speaks to varied subjects including financial news: sports news: and most of all biblical truth from real life situations. This experience was instrumental in a sense of calling for Dwight to take on a significant project in writing Kingdom Gains.

Editorial Reviews

Kingdom gains is quick, easy to read, but at the same time convicting, challenging, and thought provoking. I sincerely believe that if each Christian read this book, prayed about its principles, then went about investing, Wall Street would notice some severe, drastic changes. This book is that powerful! As believers we can sit back and allow the darkness to take over or we can all start shining a light...Pick up a copy of Kingdom Gains, I highly recommend it!
