More About the Author

Howard Dayton founded Crown Ministries in 1985 and developed a remarkably effective small group financial study. Crown Ministries merged with Larry Burkett's Christian Financial Concepts in September 2000 to form Crown Financial Ministries, the world's largest financial ministry. His life-long passion for applying God's principles to financial management dates back to 1974 when a business partner challenged him to study the Scriptures to discover what God teaches about handling money. The result has been a series of book clearly explaining God's principles for handling money: "Your Money: Frustration or Freedom, Your Money Counts, Free and Clear," and his most recent book, "Your Money Map." Howard and his wife, Beverly, reside in Gainesville, Georgia and have two children.

I am a college graduate who was looking for a book that would help me manage my money in a wise and God-honoring way and to be learn how to be a good husband one day. This book sure delivered.

The book is filled with great Biblical principles that please God, and in addition, applications which translate into our day and time. There was loads of nuggets of wisdom in there. He addressed some very good questions that I've always heard about but never knew about. The chapters are short and are to the point, and are loaded with great examples.

I feel much more confident in the way I manage my money now because of this book. And I now know that God does have many things to say about how we spend out money. Thank you!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great For Small Group Study, September 16, 2009

By 

Patricia E Cotten - See all my reviews

This review is from: Money and Marriage God's Way (Paperback)

My husband is a Crown Money Map Coach and has taught the class for Crown called Biblical Financial Study. He has also taught Dave Ramseys Financial Peace University and The Total Money Makeover. When this book was published in April 2009 he got a copy for review. He decided to use this book as a small group study thru our local church. We have had various participation in previous group studies but the response to this offering was the best yet. There is about 1/3 of the book dedicated to marriage issues. The middle 1/3 is mostly finance (money map). The final 1/3 is mostly special situations....

This book would be great for a couple to study but I am using it for a small group study and it is working out great. Highly recommend this book if you want to base your focus on biblical principles.
