by Lucy Bryson, September 29, 2018
Aaron L. Smith prospered on Wall Street without compromising his Christian principles. Today, his faith remains central to the success of his multi-million-pound business. His new book - part Warren Buffett, part Billy Graham - is a match made in heaven, writes Lucy Bryson. In the money pits of Wall Street, where greed and lust abound, you would be forgiven for thinking that the Seven Deadly Sins are more of a prerequisite than a moral code. How, then, do Christians cope - let alone flourish - in an industry plagued by moral and ethical corruption? As a former Wall Street veteran, the Christian author and Sunday School teacher Aaron L. Smith is better placed than most to answer. In his new book, Meditations of a Hedge Fund Manager: Inspired Insights on Purpose & Prosperity, he explains how to square an unholy circle. "There is nothing wrong with having money," he explains. "The problem comes when money has you. Many frequently misquote the Bible and say money is the root of all evil, but the Scripture actually says, 'the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil'". Smith has a lot to thank God for. On 9/11, he off work - at the World Trade Center - with food poisoning. Seven years later, in November 2008, a slipped disk prevented him from checking into the Taj hotel in Mumbai, where at least 30 people are killed by terrorists in a four-day siege. The room he had booked was used by the terror cell for summary executions.Smith's path to salvation was a rocky one. By his early 20s, he was living a playboy lifestyle with cash to burn. But with the money, cars and power came alcohol abuse. He spiralled into depression and became dependent on alcohol, which he describes as a "family curse". Smith beat his addiction after finding God in a Singaporean church; he'd walked into it with a hangover - and with no expectations - and emerged a different person. Since then, Smith (now 39) has learned how to marry wealth and career aspirations with faith. The two, he says, are not and never have been mutually exclusive. His book acknowledges that people - whether Christians or otherwise - are prone to greed. In a fiercely competitive industry fuelled by income, especially so. "Money is a wonderful servant, but a terrible master", he explains. But it is his belief that success and money should not define nor dominate. Meditations of a Hedge Fund Manager is a no-nonsense guide to striking that work/life balance; it explains why professional and financial success should be viewed as a powerful force for good and addresses what he describes as the "false schism" between wealth and Christianity. Part Warren Buffett, part Billy Graham, Smith writes in a refreshingly unpretentious, accessible style. His underlying aim is to show readers how to become 'Kingdom Entrepreneurs' - by applying Biblical teachings in business - and how to enjoy the fruits of labour without compromising faith, morality or family life. Over the course of 12 thought-provoking chapters - or 'meditations' - the book offers a Christian view of success in the world of work, with practical insights on how to implement Bible teachings into daily life.His book also encourages readers to find enjoyment and satisfaction in their work - whatever that work happens to be - and to be grateful for the skills they have been blessed with. It is Smith's passionate belief that professionals must free themselves from what he sees as the trap of ego, and to follow the teachings of the Bible. In doing so, he says, even those in the most stressful of workplace environments can replace anxiety with a sense of harmony and genuine happiness in every aspect of their life.

Aaron Smith speaks the language of faith and of business. He understands better than most of us what it means to have faith in the world of investment banking, hedge funds, and financial services. And so, for anyone who is in that world (and many who aren't) this will be an extraordinarily helpful book. And a word to pastors and faith leaders: if you aren't a banker, I'd suggest reading this book to understand the mind of a banker. Your ministry will be immeasurably improved.

en vez de las meditaciones de un Hedge fund manager nos encontramos con las meditaciones de un señor (y meditaciones, concretamente, solamente de tema religioso por parte de un "born again christian", tan típico en el evangelismo protestante de los USA). No hablan para nada de fondos de inversión. Engañoso.

This is one of the most practical and insightful christian books I have read. Very applicable and useful even for a christian who has been walking with the Lord for many years. The author combines a very well balanced approach with faith . A victorious life as a believer is one of peace and harmony. An illustration is how the author see tithing , not as a burden or obligation but as investing in the kingdom of God. Highly recommended for all believers!

Diese Buch von Aaron Smith ist erfrischend anders. Ein Hedge Fund Manager, der keine Heuschrecke ist - sondern ganz im Gegenteil. Er macht sich erfrischende und herausfordernde Gedanken zum Thema Geld, Identität und wahren Reichtum.
