Can
we have a godly mindset about money when our society is so inundated
with materialism? Our attitude toward money is important and
revealing, the authors remind us. The Bible has more to say about
money than any other topic. Jesus said more about money than any
thing else.
The
authors have written this book to help us determine our money
mindset. Money is a tool God has given us and and we need to
understand our every day actions and attitudes toward it. The two
authors provide great insight from their own training and experience.
One is the CEO of a Fortune 500 organization and knows math and
money. The other is a licensed psychologist and understands behavior
and belief.
I
really like this book because it gets to the bottom of our attitude
toward money – our heart. The emphasis of this book is remaking the
heart. That is essential to remaking our habits toward money. The
process begins with an assessment and the authors have provided the
link for one online. They help us understand five money mindsets.
This
book is challenging. The authors emphasize generosity, grounded in
God's grace toward us. They cover many aspects of our money mindset,
like our longing for security, our longing for more, and for success.
They write about what it means to live in community and to live with
contentment.
You
won't find any budgets in this book. You won't find out how to get
rich. What you will find is a call to have a heart attitude toward
money, possessions, and lifestyle that reflect biblical concepts. You
will be asked to re-calibrate your thinking about money. And you can
do this in community because there are great questions included to be
used in a setting of trusted friends.
I
highly recommend this book. You'll be challenged. You'll be invited
to have a new money mindset of generosity, to recognize that you have
enough for yourself and enough to share. (31)
