Why read it?

2 authors picked God and Money as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

God and Money is primarily a guide to giving. Still, it is also a testimony of how the authors, while attending Harvard, became conflicted about their extravagant lifestyles and convicted of the need to give more. In other words, something enjoyable and unique about the book is that the authors discuss finances, but it is also their story.

They also use modern-day case studies and practical ways to apply the Bible’s teaching. They followed up with True Riches, pride to gratitude, coveting to content, anxiety to trust, and indifference to love are the chapter topics.

As a Christian, money is one of those topics that always comes up and tends to dominate a lot of my headspace. Baumer and Cortines give an outstanding biblical framework on giving, saving, and investing that helps the reader keep a healthy view of money. This topic is messy but these guys did a great job.
