  “Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these … you did it to me.”-Matthew 25:40 Like many of us, Elizabeth Mae Magill wrestles with the tension between wealth, future planning, and Jesus’ call to care for those in need. How should Christians respond in a country where over 36 million live in poverty? In When Did We See You?, Magill opens an honest conversation about money, economic justice, and faith.

  “Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink?” . . . “Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these . . . you did for me.”-Matthew 25:37, 40

  An Honest Lenten Study on Money, God, and Faith

  Like so many of us, Elizabeth Mae Magill struggles to wrap her head around the tensions involving wealth, responsible planning for the future, and how God wants us to care for those less fortunate than ourselves. How does a Christian with money respond and act in a country where over 36 million people live below the poverty line?

  In When Did We See You?, Magill invites us into an honest conversation about faith, money, and community, posing hard questions about poverty, wealth, and what it means to follow Jesus in an economically divided world. With candor, grace, and deep pastoral insight, Magill wrestles with her own material privilege and encourages us to do the same.

  Grounded in scripture and the author’s own life and experience, this study explores how wealth shapes our relationship with God and neighbor and calls us back to Christ’s radical way of love, justice, and solidarity with the poor. Reminding us that all that we have belongs to God, Magill leads us through a revelatory journey as we consider:

  *Our relationship to money and concerns about having enough
  *Biblical teachings on money, charity, justice
  *A faithful response to those in our community who have less
  *How spiritual poverty brings us closer to God and others
  *What Jesus’ teachings call us to do-and who they call us to become

  When Did We See You? can be used for individual study or small groups, and includes:

  *A chapter for each week of Lent, with reflection questions for each day
  *Litanies for Ash Wednesday and Good Friday
  *Stories from real congregations wrestling with poverty and hope
  *Concrete ideas you and your community can use to alleviate poverty

  In a world of both abundance and inequality, When Did We See You? guides us through a crucial and timely conversation about our mo

  Seeing God In Diversity

  $15.95

  Here readers will find a parish study resource that promotes tolerance, diversity, and inclusiveness by looking at two biblical stories from multiple points of view – the story of the returning Jews in the Book of Exodus and the story of the new Christian community in the Book of Acts. The lessons of these ancient communities – and the way they dealt with many of the issues we face today – lead readers to put themselves in the place of each group and re-examine their faith and work for greater inclusiveness in their own communities.
  Lessons are arranged as six two-hour sesssions, and include background commentary for study leaders, readings, activities, and discussion questions.
