The Little Book of Catholic Investing

About this book

"It's easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle," Jesus says, "than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven." If you think you're not rich enough for that to apply to you, think again. It's not just the rich who will be held to account for how they manage their treasure on earth. In The Little Book of Catholic Investing, veteran money manager Daniel Catone does not promise to make you rich. Instead, this book will recontextualize and enrich your understanding of money, whether you have a lot or a little. With the help of two essential guides--the Magisterium of the Catholic Church and St. Joseph of Arimathea--Catone warns of the dangers of investing without morality and presents the saving alternative the Church offers. Most of the apostles were not rich. Yet when they heard Jesus' famous "eye of the needle" admonition, they responded, "Who then can be saved?" They knew the gravity of their master's advice for everyone, not just the wealthy. When it comes to money and the moral life, the rich don't get a pass. The poor don't, either. We all must soberly use the gifts God has given us in a way worthy of him. This little book is the place to get started.
