End of the launch day post:
A lot of podcasts asked me why I wrote the book. I have my answer now.
I wrote this book to wrench the claws of a demon out of the hearts and minds of the people of God.
That demon’s name is Mammon.

@joci_sorrell@HolyPost_Media Hey, Joci! My point is that none of those things are worthy of seeking in terms of priority. Many Christians are distracted by those passions (greed and vainglory) instead of seeing union with God as the only thing worth chasing.
God wants us to be Christlike.
The people of God have always craved power, wealth, and cultural influence, and God has always told us we don't need those things. All we need is him. @malcolmbfoley at An Afternoon with the Holy Post

@PriusRunaway@bulariat The laborer deserves his wages. That’s Jesus. Plus, the publisher is the one that makes the money!
I can see you’re uninterested in an actual conversation, but in case you change your mind, the book is only 13 dollars on Amazon! https://t.co/eJJVJ6TjiY
The Anti-Greed Gospel by @MalcolmBFoley is quite the treatise for our current moment on how to discern the difference between the gospel of Jesus vs the gospel of Caesar.
@danieleleven32 Even in the long civil rights movement, Bayard Rustin is one of the few folks who fit consistently in the anti-violent camp, even calling MLK to account.
@danieleleven32 Not in the sense that I argue in the book, insofar as folks could have the nonviolence without the economic critique.
As you know, this was my dissertation and the heroes of my dissertation were Grimke and Wells. But both had their flaws.
@danieleleven32 Heh heh I know, brother. What I lift up in my hero Ida is the breadth of her creativity and her relentless perseverance. She never settled with the Winchester; rather she saw it as one of many options.
I say it’s not an option, of course, which is apparently controversial!
