Book Description

March 17, 1997
With the economy reeling in the wake of the recent recession, many people are experiencing such financial challenges as credit card debt, downsizing, dead-end jobs, and inadequate or depleted savings. With these challenges come others as well. Recent studies confirm that more than half of all divorces are the result of financial pressures at home. And spiritually, many people are struggling to maintain a biblical perspective amidst the constant tug of materialism. But there is hope. The Bible has a lot to say about money. In fact, the Bible is a veritable blueprint for managing your finances. In Your Money Counts, trusted financial expert Howard Dayton shows you how to manage your personal finances in a highly practical, biblically-based way. Your Money Counts is a thorough, highly practical, guide to personal finance that looks at earning, spending, saving, giving, and getting out of debt from a uniquely biblical perspective. In Your Money Counts, readers are taught the ABCs of establishing a household budget, basic investment strategies, and charitable giving to help them customize their own financial strategy. The book is filled with worksheets, charts, and calculators for calculating budgets, debt, mortgage payments, investments, etc. Your Money Counts provides a clear and thoughtful approach to living debt-free in any economy.


Editorial Reviews

Review

The principles in Your Money Counts are powerful and life-changing because they are based on God’s Word. My only regret is that I did not read it fifteen years ago. Don’t make the same mistake! (Joe Gibbs, Former NFL Head Coach, Founder of Joe Gibbs Racing) --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

From the Back Cover

With the economy reeling in the wake of the recent recession, many people are experiencing such challenges as credit card debt, downsizing, dead-end jobs, and inadequate or depleted savings.

Along with these challenges come others as well. Recent studies confirm that more than half of all divorces are the result of financial pressures at home. And spiritually, many people are struggling to maintain a biblical perspective amid the constant tug of materialism.

But there is hope. The Bible has a lot to say about money. In fact, it’s a veritable blueprint for managing your finances.

In Your Money Counts, trusted finance specialist Howard Dayton shows you how to manage your personal finances in a highly practical, Bible-based way. And you’ll be amazed at the impact that proper money management—from establishing a budget and getting out of debt to long-term investing and charitable giving—has on your relationship with God. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Financial Overview May 16, 2002
Format:Paperback
I have read this book three times, and each time I do I pull some great nuggets of golden wisdom out of it. This book is an overview of the Crown Ministries study which works to implement biblical principles on money in churches. If you are able to participate in a Crown small group in your local area, I would highly recommend the 12 week study...The book promotes a balanced biblical view of becoming a faithful steward in the areas of spending, saving, giving, investing, seeking counsel, working, avoiding debt, honesty and teaching children.

The chapter on honesty at work is particularly convicting. He writes that most people define honesty as what we can get away with, but the Bible always defines it as absolute faithfulness to the unvarnished truth. I really enjoyed the part of the book about work and becoming focused on a calling from God.

Dayton studied for two years the 2300+ verses in the Bible on money. He writes with candor and humility. I like that he challenges Christians to look at their lifestyle based on being faithful to God, and not automatically raise it with their income. Greed the silent sin is one of the most pervasive sins in our culture, he says.

For anyone that is interested in becoming more faithful to God with their money, and would like to experience the peace and joy that comes from learning contentment, I would highly recommend this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome! March 25, 2005
Format:Paperback
This gave us a whole new outlook on what belongs to God (everything) and what belongs to us (nothing). We are stewards of everything he gives us...from jobs to kids...from cars to money. We have just started the 10-week small group class with this as the main reading. I've read it once and plan on reading it again. I am also going to buy copies for my grown children and family members.
