Raymond Linder (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: January 11, 1999

How much is enough? Having money is becoming increasingly more important in our society. When questioned, many Americans answered that being financially well-off was more important than raising a family and helping others. And this is not a phenomenon that is occurring only on the outside of the Church. Christians are finding themselves lured into the financial freedom trap, as well.Join Ray Linder as he takes a look at what God says about money and our use of it. See how changing your attitude about what you have is what truly sets you free. Gain a new perspective on your finances and reduce financial worry with these seven truths: 1. Financial freedom is an attitude, not an amount. 2. Give God you heart, not your money. 3. Spend wisely your money, whatever the amount. 4. Take steps to reduce and control debt. 5. Invest by the book, not by your emotions. 6. Good stewards consider relationships in their decision-making. 7. Trust in the Lord with all your heart. Don't wait any longer. Now is the time to banish financial worry forever.

This review is from: Financial Freedom: Seven Secrets to Reduce Financial Worry (Paperback)

The world of Finance has been a subject that is complicated to me so I was wonderfully surprised to find Ray Linder's book not only interesting and understandable but a pleasure to read. I was especially pleased with his references to Scriptures. and "helps" for the different personality types. It was a joy to read and contains a wealth of information to help you to better understand the financial world.

5.0 out of 5 stars An easily accessible book with sound, practical advice., September 1, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Financial Freedom: Seven Secrets to Reduce Financial Worry (Paperback)

Ray Linder writes a book that is not only interesting and at times humorous but is easily understandable by the lay person. He makes an often dull subject come alive and packs it full of practical advice on putting ones financial house in order and keeping it that way. Ray points out the common traps we all fall into and offers solutions that are "do-able". Acknowledging that conflicts surrounding money are often the greatest sources of friction between husbands and wives, Ray addresses this problem by explaining how different personalities handle money issues in very different ways. While using sound spiritual principles of money management, he also takes into account that we need to enjoy life and encourages making allowance for the things we like to do. I would recommend this book highly to anyone wishing to be free of the constant tyranny finances often play in our lives.

This review is from: Financial Freedom: Seven Secrets to Reduce Financial Worry (Paperback)

Ray Linder is an author with the background to write such a book. He is a Registered Financial Advisor, has an MBA, worked for IBM and as a financial consultant for some pretty famous people. Ray is also a lecturer who speaks to teach and not to sell. I read his first book and he writes with his reader in mind. This new book does not disappoint. In fact, it takes the next step by including chapters on Personality Types and their spending and saving behaviours. Eye-opening stuff. Here, too, Ray has legitimacy for he is a certified MBTI Personality Type consultant. No one will walk away from this book and not know how to invest and manage not only their investments but also their spending. Ray does something here that I have not seen others do: when he speaks of budgeting, he includes money for SPENDING. Most stress SAVING to the point that one feels guilty when spending. Another great thing is that Ray learned from personal experience that material wealth alone will not bring fulfillment. He,therefore, addresses the spiritual side of money, that having it is a bonus but using it wisely is a joy. You will learn rich lessons for financial strategic planning and for richness in life as well.
