"'Lord, when was it that we saw you hungry and gave you food, or thirsty and gave you something to drink?' ... 'Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these ... you did it to 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 money, economic justice, and God's call for a world with enough for all. This Lent, may we have eyes to truly see Christ in our neighbors, and respond with love and action. When Did We See You? is perfect for: * Lenten small-group studies * Church-wide reading programs * Pastors and leaders looking to open dialogue on money, justice, and discipleship
