The Wise Investor

Somewhere in the back of your mind is a number - the amount that would finally be enough. Enough to stop. Enough to feel safe. Have you noticed it keeps moving?

You have spent a lifetime learning what things are worth - a house, a portfolio, a year of your own labor. Yet the one valuation that could finally quiet that moving number is the one no one ever taught you to make.

Most books about faith and money end where they should begin. Hold it loosely. Give more. Be generous. One more instruction laid on a person already tired of instructions - and it leaves you exactly where it found you, still doing the math.

The Wise Investor takes a different path. Through three of Jesus's parables about money - the Rich Fool, the Hidden Treasure, and the Pearl of Great Price - it uncovers a truth hidden beneath their familiar warnings: that wisdom, in Scripture, was never caution, and never the fullest barn. It is accurate pricing - seeing what a thing is truly worth, and moving accordingly. The man who sold everything for one field wasn't sacrificing a thing. He had seen the number, and against it all he owned was a rounding error. That is why he sold with joy.

In these pages you will:

• Trade the exhausting question "how much is enough?" for a security that does not rest on the size of your pile
• Discover why "be generous" was never the point - and what the parables were pointing to all along
• See wisdom as Scripture means it: not the least risk, but the clearest sight
• Examine the text in Greek, where the English goes quiet and the story opens

Written by Dr. Randall Dupont The Wise Investor is for anyone who has ever felt the pull of the full barn and suspected there had to be more to the story.

There is. Read closely, and the three parables turn out to be telling a single story - and it is not the one you expect. By the last page, the words on the cover - Sell everything. This is worth it. - may mean something you never saw coming.
