Christians and Money

[Angio333]

If you are Christian, you have to read the book, The Treasure Principle by Randy Alcorn.

It is probably one of the best books I have read that discusses christian values, generosity, money, and material freedom. It is a short book and is very easy to read.

Check it out:

Thanks for the link. Many of us Christians do really need some ideas on money, how to spend it, and learn how to cope with the financial crisis the whole world is into right now.

It is a good point for discussion. As a Christian, I realize that in the past I have got caught up in the materialism of the world. And, money I spent on things for myself and family was money that I didn't have to advance God's Kingdom. I am now trying to simplify my life and put more of a focus on giving and blessing others through what I have.
And, Christians do need to look at themselves in the mirror and ask why their lives are no different than the world if we REALLY believe what we say we believe.
I do not subscribe however to the "health and wealth gospel" of giving as a means to somehow gain something for yourself. You will be blessed for giving but not necessarily in a monetary way. God can bless you with good health, friends, food, peace and on and on.

Thanks for the suggestion.

I submit that the one-star review it received is better reading.

Wow that was intense

I submit that the one-star review it received is better reading.

I got about half way through before I began to wonder who Kelly was. Now I can understand the in depth approach to the book and I am impressed. Thanks for pointing that one out.
