I dedicate this book to some brothers who have long been Kingdom influencers through financial stewardship and giving.

About Managing God's Money: A Biblical Guide

Discover an eternal perspective on personal finance from the bestselling author of Heaven and The Treasure Principle.

God cares a great deal more about our money than most of us imagine. The sheer enormity of Scripture’s teaching on this subject screams for our attention. In fact, Jesus says more about how we are to view and handle money and possessions than about any other topic—including both heaven and hell.

In Managing God’s Money, Randy Alcorn breaks down exactly what the Bible has to say about how we are to handle our money and possessions in a simple, easy-to-follow format. Filled with Scripture references, Managing God’s Money is the perfect reference tool for anyone who is interested in gaining a solid biblical understanding of money, possessions, stewardship, and eternity. It answers common financial questions Christians ask, such as:

• Is it possible to both follow God and make money?

• What if we can’t afford to tithe?

• What does the Bible say about debt?

• How does investing differ from gambling?

• How can we help children become generous givers?

Great for personal use, small groups, or churches, Managing God’s Money offers practical wisdom for being faithful with your finances.
