Managing God's Money: A Biblical Guide Mass Market Paperback – 1 Mar. 2011

Brilliant book. Very thought provoking an inspiring. Makes you really consider the true value of money, and how we squander it.

Excellent principles to live by. Great read

So encouraging!! It changed my perspective on money and wealth and everything that I have. It humbled me in a way that with all the abundance that I am enjoying in my life, God blesses me with them and He can take them away in a flash. The word stewardship will remain with me and will constantly remind me of who I am.

good read,good information

Great book

This is the first book I have read by Randy Alcorn. In general an interesting read, with weaknesses in some areas.He does a good job in explain what the Bible teaches about wealth / money across the two testaments, particular what Jesus taught.Although he does not draw sharp distinctions between Christian and non-Christian attitudes. The book also does well in explaining not only how Christian attitudes differ from non-Christian attitudes in terms of dealing with money, but he also does well in explain how the cross should alter our attitudes beyond what was expected of Israel in the OT.At the practical level, Randy explains well the key questions : how can I manage money in a way that honours God; how do I prioritise between different spending priorities; and what are some practical tips for being an effective manager of God's finances. I particularly enjoyed his discussion on debt and savings.However, the book has some weak areas where he could have explained issues more clearly e.g. gambling and tithing. He appears to skid over key areas of debate. The book also gets side tracked by dedicating unnecessary chapter on heaven, and over focusing on "giving". Clearly a critical area, but it made for a quite unbalanced read.
