How to Manage Your Money

I'm surprised this book is not ranked higher. Before I read this I knew Larry Burkett from all of the times he has been talked about here on the Christian radio station in the Los Angeles and Orange County area since the 90's. As far as I know Larry Burkett is the foremost leader when it comes to Christian finance which little is preached or taught about especially given how much it's spoken about in the Bible especially the NT. This is a good book to have in everyone's library and is just as foundational and core an area such as devotions, prayer and so on.

My former church offered semester long classes on Christian Finances Parts I, II and III and this book was used for Part I:Attitude Adjustment. After studying this book and learning the biblical principles of money, tithing, stewardship, and needs vs wants, I can assure you that you will definitely have an "attitude adjustment" toward money management. This book does an awesome job of laying out the foundation and building us up to be better stewards of all that God blesses us with. It gives you God-confidence that He is in the midst of it all and will take care of you and always right on time. You will finish and feel like you may not have always done the right thing with God's money but now you know better so you will be able to do better. I can't give this book enough praise for what it has given me - financial freedom from debt, the right way. God's way!

This book helped me to clarify in my heart Who is the owner of all things. I know that God is the Creator, but the owner of what I have acquired? This book helps to focus the reader that God is the owner of our talents, possessions, time, and money. The spiritual insights are remarkable; and the book reveals how often God speaks about finances and what we are to do with them. Finally, the book reveals that when we commit our lives and finances to God, He will provide for our every need.

Excellent book for novist to professional. As a financial planner and a Christian I find this book loaded with practical scripture verses. It deals with evereyday financial matters, questions and thougths I constantly have about what god thinks about money matters. A must if you love the Lord and want his best concerning your finances.
