Fun Biblical Stories Revisited, Enter John McCormick -\\xa0Investment Perspective Wealth Responsibility
In Detroit Michigan, I attended St. Elizabeth commonly known as East Side Vicariate school. Of course in the curriculum, we were required to attend Catholic religion classes and attend occasional mass. The approach for children works by focusing on the stories of Jesus, which I found fascinating. The stories seemed so well crafted particularly The Parable of The Talents and The Prodigals Son. When I was introduced to the work John McCormick produce on his take of the Parable of the Talents, my interest spiked. \\xa0The story of the Parable of the Talents is a direct correlation for our wealth responsibility in modern times. John McCormick\\xa0recent mini-book is an ancient story about money - The Parable of the\\xa0Talents, titled The Investment Perspective.
Here is a summation from the back cover of the book.
"The Investment Perspective revisits the ancient story of three men and the fateful gift that would shape their destinies.\\xa0 Compelled by their benefactor to engage in a game of chance, they are torn between two motives so old as to transcend culture, race, religion and time.\\xa0 Their choice and ours, when faced with the same struggle, is of such consequence as to make all other questions shrink in comparison.\\xa0 This book seeks to shed light on this common perplexity and to follow its ramifications to their ultimate end.\\xa0 While its message has sober implications, it is intended to give hope and\\xa0 encouragement toward a simple course which if pursued, will yield\\xa0 dividends of meaningfulness, significance and ultimately, joy."
The conversation was an eye opener and reason to provoke, though. Money is not the end result but is the driving force for our physical comfort. Money gives us access to resources which can, in turn, lead to money. In actually the focus should be living instead of more money.
