This is a book that needed to be written, and these writers are up to the task. As spouses they share teaching vocations, one as a professor of accounting, the other as a professor of pastoral theology. As a team they bring combined expertise that results in a fine contribution to understanding some of the important ways that money matters in ministry.

They Were Just People by Bill Tammeus and Rabbi Jacques Cukierkorn. University of Missouri Press, Columbia, Missouri © 2009

I saw the movie, Schindler’s List in 1993. I thought Oskar Schindler was incredibly brave and appropriately recognized by the State of Israel as one of the Righteous Among the Nations – a non-Jew who risked his life to save Jews from Nazi extermination.
