Book Description

March 2, 1999
As baby boomers have begun approaching their peak earning years, interest in financial planning has exploded. At the same time, a large percentage of Christians are experiencing unnecessary financial problems due to a lack of knowledge on how to properly handle money. Achieving Your Financial Potential demonstrates clearly how to gain control of finances through practical step-by-step instructions that are rooted in the Scriptures.

Though the Bible doesn't give advice on what the best mutual fund is or how to play the stock market, Kays shows how it does contain the principles that can lead to financial independence, if properly applied. Highlighting passages from the Old and New Testaments, together with graphs, easy-to-use worksheets, case studies involving real people, and helpful summaries of key points, Kays explains how to set goals, make budgets, pay off debts, reduce expenses, invest systematically, analyze insurance needs, plan for education, and minimize estate taxes.

Written for busy people who do not have time to read several books in order to acquire the financial information they need, Achieving Your Financial Potential is a book readers will find immediately valuable--and one they will wonder how they ever did without.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Early praise for this important book:

"After you read Achieving Your Financial Potential you will want to buy several more copies to share with those you love--because you know it will change their life.  I would have required all the thousands of Financial Planners that I have trained to read Achieving Your Financial Potential if it had been available at the time.  This is one of the best books I have read for an individual who wants to achieve their financial potential.  The real bonus is that it shows us how the biblical principles relate to our attaining our financial freedom.  That is why I recommend it both to the people that are beginning on their journey to know about financial planning and to those that are experts.  You will be happy with your investment.  God was truly working through Scott when this book was written.  It is the result of more than human efforts."
--H. Oliver Welch, Chairman Emeritus, Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards

"This book is a must read for today's busy Christian.  Scott Kays' skillful combination of biblical wisdom and financial expertise is a tremendous aid to Christians seeking to seize control of their finances.  Kays takes the Bible seriously and he challenges us to do the same in the matter of financial stewardship.  Achieving Your Financial Potential is personable and warm, but also clear and authoritative.  It is just the right approach for this sensitive but vital area of our lives.  Be ready to act, because Scott Kays will motivate you to better and more fruitfully manage your money."
--Richard D. Phillips, CEO, Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals, and author of The Heart of an Executive
