Our relationship to our possessions -- few topics are more timely for today's blessed Christians . . . or more neglected. Yet author Gene Getz tells readers that the Bible says more about the things we own than any other subject except the Godhead. His thorough exploration of biblical history reveals overarching "supraprinciples" of ownership that apply to all people everywhere, then and now. Getz shows how Christians can resist the deadly tendency towards selfishness inherent in today's culture and how to use their possessions as effective tools for witness and spiritual growth. Avoiding both the extreme of "selling all and giving to the poor" and the greed-centered "prosperity gospel," he explains the biblical attitude toward possessions: a releasing of "this is mine" view of our possessions and allowing God's gifts to flow through our hands to meet human needs, demonstrating His love to an unbelieving world.

102 Bible-based principles for handling material possessions,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rich in Every Way: Everything God says about money and posessions (Paperback)
Rich In Every Way: Everything God Says About Money And Possessions by Gene Getz (Pastor Emeritus, Fellowship Bible Church North, Plano, Texas, and Director of the Center for Church Renewal) offers the Christian reader 102 Bible-based "supracultural" principles for handling material possessions. Grounded firmly in scripture, with extensive quotations and backup support, Rich In Every Way is an excellent basic guide for individual or group study alike, focusing succinctly upon each individual prinicple in the course of a couple, illuminating pages. Highly recommended as both a self-help guide to pursue a path that enriches oneself, and as a devotional to bring one closer to the word and meaning of God.
