We as Christians fall desperately short when it comes to Biblical stewardship. When I first started this book, I read it numbly because it seemed overwhelming. But I prayed as I read, asking God to reveal areas of faithlessness in order to view money more wisely. I expected another book on "love of money is the root of all evil, don't be materialistic, remember to support the poor and missionaries and oh, tithe at least 10% on the gross". It is SO much more than that! I have recommended this book to so many people. If we had the attitude and views about our stewardship as God does and as Randy Alcorn attempts to reveal, the world would truly be changed. Unfortunately, we will continue in capitalist, corporate America to waste it away on pleasure and things that will not last for eternity. Praying God will use this book to make a difference, one Christian at a time. ( )no reviews | add a review
