Product Description
What does the Bible really say about money? This completely revised and updated version of the classic best-seller provides a Christian perspective about money and material possessions based on the author's painstaking study of the Bible. Randy Alcorn uses the Scriptures to approach this often touchy subject head-on. Thought-provoking arguments challenge readers to rethink their attitudes and use their God-given resources in ways that will have an eternal impact. Alcorn deals straightforwardly with issues of materialism, stewardship, prosperity theology, debt, and more. An excellent choice for group study as well as individual financial guidance. Includes a study guide and appendix with additional resources.

 Money, Possessions and Eternity October 1, 2008
Randy Alcorn has hit the nail on the head for Biblical giving. His main premise is that all money and possessions belong to God, so we ought to be willing to give what is His anyway back to Him or to whomever He chooses. Our money and possessions are not for our selfish pleasure but for the promotion of spiritual and eternal things. Quite a convicting read.
 Good book, kind of repetitive June 6, 2008
I am glad I have had an opportunity to read most of this book. I have to admit, though, that I did not read all of it. It is just too repetitive. Randy has good points, but like many preachers, he tends to say them over and over and over again.
I read the first section of the book and then skipped to some interesting appendixes he has in the back. Maybe someday I will read the middle of the book.
Still, it is a book worth reading, and I learned much from what I did read.
Recommended.
Other than the Bible, the best book I've ever read! March 29, 2008
This is the best solidly Biblical treatment about money and possessions, that I've ever read, and I've read a lot!
Eye opener! October 3, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
What an eye opener this book is! He lets you have it like it is. Greed, gluttony and covetousness are NOT treated as virtues, like the "prosperity gospel" preaches. This book helps to get us, as Christians, back on the right track of why God gives us material blessings and what He expects us to do with them. God is the focus, not us. Be prepared for some soul searching introspection!
Excellent book October 3, 2007

This is an excellent book on Biblical stewardship. It's a must read for anyone wanting to see what the Bible has to say about your possessions and how to view as well as handle them. Highly, highly recommended!
