Dr. Russell James' third book in The Biblical Fundraiser Series, A Christian's Guide to Joyful Wealth Management, uses 1 Timothy 6:6-10 and 6:17-19 as a guide to wealth enjoyment. Dr. James argues that being wealthy right now comes at an opportune moment: you cannot take it with you, and you can do something worthy with it now. He takes joy in being a person who lives life as a ready-willing, joyful-abounding, and abundantly-rich sharer, and tailors the book to how you can be a sharer as well.

Dr. Russell James' second book in The Biblical Fundraiser Series, The Biblical Fundraiser in Ancient Words, focuses on 1 Timothy 6:17-19. Dr. James argues that this passage is one of the few Biblical scriptures directed -- not to donors -- but to fundraisers. He begins by reframing major gift fundraising as scriptural ministry to wealthy Christians rather than a worldly quest for cash. The book contrasts "biblical" fundraising with "ordinary" fundraising, where the biblical fundraiser is the authorized messenger (the parangelle). The parangelle comes alongside wealthy believers to deliver a God-given message about generosity, whereas ordinary fundraising begs, attacks, or avoids the rich. This book describes how Scripture guides the fundraiser in ministering to the wealthy, not just in extracting money.
