A new book, “Economics at the Cross”, offers a fresh perspective on wealth, work, and faith, showing how Biblical principles can guide daily economic decisions in a world obsessed with material success.
Written by Rev. Dr. Emmanuel Murangira, the book examines the stark contrast between worldly economic systems and the values of God’s Kingdom. Drawing on 32 years of experience in both religious leadership and economic institutions, Rev. Dr. Murangira encourages readers to rethink how faith should influence not only spiritual life but also the management of money and resources.
“Many people are taught that work and worship must be separate, or that without great wealth one cannot succeed. The Bible teaches otherwise,” he writes. “Work is not a curse—it can be an act of worship, and God has given us enough to manage wisely.”
The book addresses common misconceptions, such as the belief that one must work relentlessly every day of the week. Instead, it teaches a balanced approach where diligence, rest, and faith coexist, enabling individuals to build sustainable wealth and live purposefully.
Rev. Dr. Murangira also critiques worldly approaches that encourage competition for status and material gain, highlighting how these often leave people dissatisfied. He shows readers practical ways to use limited resources effectively while remaining faithful to Biblical teachings.
Economics at the Cross is aimed at individuals, families, businesses, NGOs, and anyone seeking to integrate faith with economic decision-making. It is available in Kigali bookstores, online at Vital Readings (https://vitalreadings.com/) , and on Amazon.
This book offers both spiritual guidance and practical economic insight, making it a timely read for anyone seeking balance between worldly pursuits and Kingdom values.
