Product Description

What does the Bible really say about money? This completely revised and updated version of the classic best-seller provides a Christian perspective about money and material possessions based on the author's painstaking study of the Bible. Randy Alcorn uses the Scriptures to approach this often touchy subject head-on. Thought-provoking arguments challenge readers to rethink their attitudes and use their God-given resources in ways that will have an eternal impact. Alcorn deals straightforwardly with issues of materialism, stewardship, prosperity theology, debt, and more. An excellent choice for group study as well as individual financial guidance. Includes a study guide and appendix with additional resources.

Absolutely a must read July 12, 2003
Format:Paperback
Simply the best book on the subject. Be ready for a good spiritual punch in the gut. I buy numerous copies of these and constantly give them away to those I am close to. Chock full of scripture and and wisdom. It's intention is not to instruct you on how to get out of debt or balance your check-book. Seek out Ron Blue or Larry Burkett's excellent resorces for this. Alcorn lays out a view of the eternal promises of God (specifically related to the subject matter), challenges us to believe them and dramatically alter the way most American Christians live our lives. If you want the "Cliff's notes" version pick up Alcorn's "The Treasure Principle." If you want to go deep work your way through this gem.

For the serious Christian November 22, 2005
Format:Paperback
This book will challenge you, irritate you and, in the process, help transform you. This book is for the serious Christian disciple of the Lord Jesus Christ.

First, this book is *not* only about money. It is more about how money either supports your commitment to the Lord Jesus or obstructs it.

Second, money must be viewed in the long-term context of eternity. If you believe that the gospel applies to your soul, then eternity should be the lens through which Christ's disciples should apply the gospel to their use of money. Money is GOD's resource; HE has given me some of it now but will call me to account for this when I die.

This is why Jesus is central. It is why this book is only for the serious Christian; others may read it, but to put these principles into practice you will need courage, humility, obedience and trust in God: it may be a painful process.

Allow yourself a lot of time with this book. Alcorn's questions are searching and penetrating. Underlining and commenting on these pages has helped me immensely.

Is this book a "great" or "entertaining" read? No. This is a book that will convict and even read the reader!

It changed my life January 11, 2006
Format:Paperback
Basically all I can say is that this book has changed my life. I have completely re-evaluated every possession I have and every dollar I spend and even the direction my life will take. It is quite deep and a tough read- it took me 8 months to work my way through it, but it was well worth it. This is a must read for anyone who wants to get serious about living the way God intends.
