MEADVILLE, Pa., Nov. 19, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- "The Poor, Rich Man: A Story Based on the Biblical Account of the Rich Young Ruler": a compelling novel about true wealth. "The Poor, Rich Man" is the creation of published author Gerald Kinsey, a former dairy farmer, owner of the local weekly newspaper "The Lakeview Area News" and grandfather that lives in Lakeview, Michigan.
Kinsey writes, "In the rich man's search for meaning, he read many books. One that he found especially interesting was the Bible. Since he was a rich man, he was particularly interested in what it said about wealth. He was disturbed by the fact that much of what it said seemed rather negative. Although it troubled him, he had to admit that his experience seemed to confirm what he read.
One story that fascinated him was the account of the rich young ruler who came to Jesus to ask how he could have eternal life. Jesus told him to sell everything he had and give it to the poor. That seemed strange because everywhere else the Bible said that eternal life was obtained by faith. Nowhere else did it say that eternal life could
be obtained by selling possessions or giving to the poor. He puzzled over this anomaly for some time. Why did Jesus tell this one man to do what He never told anyone else to do? Finally, it occurred to him that if the man gave away everything he had, he would be destitute. He would have to depend on God for his survival. He would have to trust God. That was what Jesus had been telling everyone."
Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Gerald Kinsey's new book is a unique novel written simply and beautifully.
As readers follow on the journey, they will learn that what Jesus had been asking for all along was trust.
