Faith Driven Investor is a guide for Christians on integrating their faith with their investment decisions. It explores the biblical principles of stewardship, generosity, and social responsibility in the context of investing. The book provides practical strategies and frameworks for making investment choices that align with Christian values, considering both financial returns and positive social impact. It encourages readers to view investing as a vocation, a way to serve God and others through their financial resources. The book also addresses ethical considerations and challenges in the investment world, offering guidance on navigating complex issues.
The Bible is a comprehensive collection of texts that form the central religious text of Christianity and Judaism. It is divided into the Old Testament, which includes books such as Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, and others that narrate the creation of the world, the history of the Israelites, and the prophetic messages. The New Testament focuses on the life, teachings, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, along with the early Christian church and its spread. The Bible contains a wide range of genres, including historical narratives, poetry, wisdom literature, prophetic writings, and epistles[2][3][5].
Henry Kaestner, co-founder of Sovereigns Capital and the Faith Driven movements, reveals his journey from Wall Street wealth to radical, faith-driven generosity. We discuss: how can impact investing help alleviate global poverty—especially in Africa? Should I impact invest or give effectively? Should I help locally or globally? Does God need us? Should we encourage other Christians to be generous?
