Managing Money based on the oldest best selling manual



Being trained in engineering, I understand the importance of reading manuals. This habit helps in a lot of the projects I have been working on.
Therefore as I start looking for principals of financial wisdom, I started with one that is based on age old values (for some of us by our maker). A recent book that I am reading is ‘God own$ - Managing Money the Biblical Way’ by Benny Ho. This book answers views and application of money and is full of solid theology, practical wisdom and, if applied, life changing truths. It is based on the oldest best selling manual.

The writer give a balanced and biblical view of money and to challenge us to view money as a means to abundant living and a tool to serve the purposes of God. A summary of the topics as follows:

Chapter 1 – the concept of stewardship in general and money in specific.
Chapter 2 – A biblical perspective on wealth
Chapter 3 – The delight of giving
Chapter 4 – grapples with monster of greed that attacks us so frequently in an affluent society.
Chapter 5 – challenges us to resolutely return to the discipline of Simplicity.
Chapter 6 – the Christian approach to investment
Chapter 7 – the Christian approach to insurance
Chapter 8 – Remember the poor
Chapter 9 – the Riches of Our Inheritance

For me, the takeaway is we are so blessed that our only appropriate response is to be a blessing to others.

Stay tuned. Have a blessed day and be a blessing.
