In How Much Is Enough?, Arthur Simon takes an uncompromising look at America's wealth, reflecting what dominates the hearts and motivations of its people. He diagnoses Western civilization as sick with \"affluenza,\" or runaway materialism, and shows readers how to reject the disease and set new priorities.\u003cbr\u003e\tChurches, social ministry groups, and thoughtful readers will be enlightened by Simon's grasp of Western affluence against the backdrop of a world where 800 million people are chronically starving. Readers will gain a clearer understanding of how money becomes an object of worship when passion for material things is stronger than compassion for the poor. Simon's life-changing book also reveals how affluenza takes control of people's lives and goals.\u003cbr\u003e\tWithout discounting prosperity as a blessing, How Much Is Enough? proposes new pathways to living as disciples of Jesus. It suggests a myriad of solutions for taming materialism and sheds light on the profound reality that possessions may capture our hearts, but they are unable to nourish our souls.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Arthur Simon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Baker Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 194\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.66h x 5.52w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780801064081\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eCBA Retailers\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2003 pg. 42\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChristianity Today\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2003 pg. 108\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooks \u0026amp; Culture\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2004 pg. 35\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eArthur Simon is the founder and president emeritus of Bread for the World, a nonpartisan citizens' hunger lobby.
