reviewed How Much Is Enough?: Hungering for God in an Affluent Culture on February 11, 2017
How Much Is Enough?
A couple good lines. The theme should be : Love God, and your heart and mind will be on things that He loves and you'll want to seek His will. He touches on it a bit. But the rest of the book reads a little bit like we should try really hard in our flesh to be less selfish. And we know that won't get us anywhere. Also, I wish he had acknowledged that throwing money at an issue is not always going to solve it. He oversimplifies things and is a little harsh toward people who don't think about eradicating world poverty night and day. There are political factors and we are human, afterall. But of course, I have many issues with American Christianity and Americans in general, how we live and what we think we need. Our culture is so saturated with comforts, entertainment, etc. it's hard to even notice it anymore. Instead of comparing our lives with the richest rich we should constantly compare with people who have nothing--it's all about perspective.
