Money, Possessions and Eternity

Although this book is like a textbook on money (it is very thick and very comprehensive), it is actually quite enjoyable to read. Randy Alcorn has clearly articulated the biblical principles on money and possessions in this book, also answered questions on gambling, investing, etc. Greatly recommended for all Christians who want to be a great steward of the resources that God has entrusted to them.

Alcorn presents a comprehensive book about finances and how Christians should think about this concept of wealth and money. \\r\\n\\r\\nHe would generally be considered to take a conservative approach to finances, although does highlight the gift that money and resources are from God and the potential enjoyment of money. \\r\\nHe places a high value on the concept of stewardship. \\r\\n\\r\\nOne of Alcorn's strengths is his extensive use of Scripture. The reader may not agree with all of his conclusions, especially given the controversy around money and wealth, but he certainly will challenge the reader to consider how to better steward God's resources. \\r\\n\\r\\nTopics include: the challenge of money as Christians, money in light of eternity, giving and sharing, practical questions about lifestyle, debt, saving, materialism, and more. The book is very practical and addresses real questions and issues in the lives of Christians. \\r\\n\\r\\nThe book is very dense and lengthy, with small font size and over 400 pages. The comprehensiveness does make for hard reading. However, the book is broken into clear chapters and topics, so makes reading and reference simpler. \\r\\n\\r\\nOverall, a Bible saturated, challenging book about money. Well worth reading. \\r\\n
