Product Description

Finding your way to a travel destination requires a map and

the same is going to be true for reaching your financial destination.

Based on the phenomenally popular Money Map concept

created by Crown Ministries, this is a simple roadmap for organizing

one’s finances through life. Howard Dayton’s expertise and

financial experience come to light as he guides readers on a journey

toward Biblically based, true financial freedom…

From the Inside Flap

“This may surprise you, but money is the primary competitor with God for our affection. Jesus tells us we will serve—and love—one or the other. . .

“When the Crusades were fought during the twelfth century, the Crusaders purchased the services of mercenaries to fight for them. Because it was a religious war, the Crusaders insisted that the mercenaries be baptized before fighting.

“As they were being baptized, the soldiers would take their swords and hold them up out of the water to symbolize that Jesus Christ was not in control of their swords, that they retained the freedom to use their weapons in any way they wished.

“Many people today do a similar thing. They hold their wallet or purse out of the water, an attitude that says, ‘God, I yield control of my entire life to you except in the area of money—I am perfectly capable of handling that myself.’ And without realizing it, this attitude hinders their relationship with God and harms their finances.”

My wife and I (married for 2 years) just read through this book.

It can be a little corny at times in the way the conversations take place, and it makes something as big as paying off credit card debt seem like a 2 week ordeal.

However, it does have a lot of good examples and is based on sound principals. I highly reccomend any engaged, single, or newlyweds look at this book as early as possible.
