Biblically Responsible Investing: For God's Glory And Your Joy
Christians around the world are investing billions of dollars to support biblical values for God's glory and their joy within a movement called Biblically Responsible Investing (BRI). Hear firsthand from one of the leading voices in the BRI movement about the exciting impact being felt on Wall Street, in corporate America, in families and churches all over the globe and how you, too, can experience the blessing of aligning your investments with biblical values for God's glory and your joy!
Read how author Robert Netzly's career as a successful financial professional was turned upside down when he discovered BRI, how the Holy Spirit pierced his heart on the issue and his harrowing experience of leaving everything to follow Jesus into an uncertain future with no safety net -- and how God proved himself faithful time and time again, and used that step of faith to advance a movement that is literally changing the world, completely by his grace.
Author Robert Netzly is a frequent guest on FOX Business, and is regularly featured in global media including The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Huffington Post, The Financial Times, Bloomberg and many others as a thought leader in the Biblically Responsible Investing movement. Netzly is also the CEO and founder of Inspire Impact Group, LLC, the parent company of leading faith-based financial firms such as Inspire Investing, Christian Wealth Management and inspireinsight.com.

Investing with God in this world's treasures
I offer full disclosure that I was personally involved with this amazing tribe of men in the early four years of the formation of Christian Wealth Management as an independent advisor under Robert's daily supervision. Robert and his team guided us daily with wisdom that comes when you are a full-on committed Christ-follower desiring to answer the call to arms of the masterful King. I would not trade those one-of-a-kind life experiences for all the wealth in the world. Robert and his team offer a way of thinking that is rare in this life. As I was twice the age of the men I worked alongside, I aged out sooner rather than later asnd my journey took a new turn. But their wisdom has stayed with me. I consider them each the most valued of advisors in my life and I commend this book to you to learn about how Godly men and women serve in a practical marketplace. You will learn more than you realized you didn't know and your life will be filled with joy as you give God the glory. A great read of a great leader in a great team! Kudos to everyone involved in this groundbreaking financial powerhouse. The BEST is yet to come! To God be ALL glory!

Vote Your Values
Loved the book Robert. As a member of Christian Wealth Management I encourage readers to consider voting with their values. The Bible reminds us that God owns it all and we are merely stewards of our God given resources. Are you being a good steward of what you have been blessed with?

This book caught my eye when I was searching the Internet for more information about investing. There is so much information out there, some misguided, others are scams that only want to steal and aren't interested in honest mentorship. This has made me very careful to follow the path without truly knowing what it means to invest.
This is a very short book but with so much punch that I couldn't ignore it and bought it right away. The twelve chapters and three steps lead you to a place where you can make an informed decision while learning God's perspective about money.
I found the author's openness about his path and how God has led him refreshing and inspiring.
"I really can’t believe where God has brought the BRI movement over the past number of years. And
I really can’t believe where God has brought me over the past number of years. I am a weak and unworthy man. There are countless others who are more intelligent, more driven, more charismatic, better educated, more experienced, better connected and better funded than I. But for some reason, God saw fit to do something with my five loaves and two fish." Robert Netzly
This book is a biblical perspective on money and investing. It teaches you what to look for, how to be a responsible and be enlightened with biblical values as your guide.
"It is instead a heart of worship that desires to glorify God in all we do, to shine the light of Christ brightly that the world “may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven” (Matthew 5:16)."
Endorse, Engage, Exclude are the fundamentals they operate with and by this they ensure a portfolio that is sound and trustworthy. He stresses the importance of responsibility between client and customer and through it all you as reader realize not only the value but importance of being a true ambassador and live to the glory of God in every part of your life.
[As a note to any pastors or lay leaders out there, there is a severe lack of biblically sound teaching in our churches today about proper stewardship of investment assets. The most popular stewardship courses cover all the purely practical aspects of investing, like “what is a mutual fund” or “how to diversify”, and offer no instruction different than that available from the world outside the church. But none of these courses go into any depth on the spiritual issues related to investing for the glory of God. There are important moral, ethical, and holiness issues that our people need to be taught about investing. If anyone wants to take on that challenge, I would love to help however I can. And now we return to our regularly scheduled programming.]

I am conspiracy theorizing that Amazon has price-gouged this book to be $21 for a hardcover and $10 for kindle version ON SALE because they hate every word in its pages.
However, this is a hundred page book..... and he repeats himself alot. So, even though I did not disagree with any of his points, and I'm glad he's making them, this is definitely not worth the purchase price. I read through kindle unlimited.
I was hoping for a little more....."what to do now".... instead of so much "this is why you shouldn't do the usual way..." in the writing.

GOOD READ
A great intro into the basics of Biblically responsible investment. Its not a know guide to investing at large but helps understand the role of conscientiously investing with Biblical principles
