    About this audiobook

    Who wants to settle for fleeting treasures on earth... when God offers everlasting treasures in Heaven?It's time to rethink our perspectives on money and possessions. In this thoroughly researched and extensively updated classic, Randy Alcorn shows us how to view them accurately—as God's provision for our good, the good of others, and his glory. Alcorn presents a biblical and comprehensive view of money and possessions, including the following: Why is money so important to God? Is prosperity theology right or wrong? How can we be liberated from materialism? What should we do about debt? How much does God want us to give? How can we best help the poor and reach the lost? What about gambling? investing? insurance? saving? retirement? inheritance? How can we leave our children a true heritage? How can we use money in ways that God rewards?

    • 5/5
      I can't tell you how important I think this book is for all believers. 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.
