God and Money

About this book

Most Christians are asking the wrong questions about money--and it's keeping them stuck.John Cortines and Gregory Baumer met as Harvard MBA candidates in a men's Bible study and stopped asking "How much should I give?" and started asking "How much do I need to keep?" With their top-notch education and rising careers, Cortines and Baumer were guaranteed comfort and security for the rest of their lives. However, when their plans for saving and spending collided with God's purposes for extravagant generosity, they were each compelled to make a life-changing decision that challenges the values held by mainstream America and many Christian commentators. Cortines and Baumer show not only how to radically give but explain how to do so responsibly.Dive into the story and get equipped with the practical personal finance tools to: Easily set budgets for spending Wisely steward your money Prepare and save for your future--home ownership, retirement, higher education, etc. Know what the Bible says about money, tithing, and faith Discern when to give and when not to give Featuring lessons from the Old Testament and New Testament, modern day case studies, and practical ways to apply biblical principles no matter what situation you're in, God and Money provides a powerful and inspiring look into what the Bible says about: Tithing and Christian giving Wealth and stewardship Faith and generosity Love of money From the parables of the Rich Young Ruler to the Widow's Mite, Scripture shows us that how we manage our money is critical to our relationship with God.
