Harvard MBAs John Cortines and Gregory Baumer show readers that peace and contentment are only possible when they invite Jesus on their financial journeys and shift their hearts toward joyful generosity.

Jesus talked a lot about money. He knew that how we think about and choose to use our finances plays a significant role in forming our character. Our handling of money can make us more like him–full of contentment, purpose, and freedom–or it can cause a tragic separation from God and the joy he offers.

In True Riches, John Cortines and Gregory Baumer invite us to explore the words of Jesus and experience the four transformations we must make in our financial journey with Christ: moving from pride to gratitude, coveting to contentment, anxiety to generosity, and indifference to love. Full of scripture, personal stories, and practical application, True Riches offers a simple path away from the empty pursuit of wealth and into deeper relationship with God and a purpose-filled life of generosity.

John Cortines oversees the Maclellan Foundation’s investments and strategies to grow a global movement of generosity among all believers. John began his career as a Petroleum Engineer.  While at Harvard Business School, he encountered a radical call from God to reframe his perspective on generosity and ultimately shifted his career into the nonprofit sector. Prior to his present role, he spent five years helping lead the ministry of Generous Giving. John is coauthor of two books on biblical generosity, which together have over 50,000 copies in circulation. John and his lovely and gracious wife, Megan, have three biological children, as well as twin foster babies in their home. In addition to these five young humans, they also manage nineteen egg-laying hens. John holds an MBA, an MS in Geophysics, and BS in Chemical Engineering.
