A Christian View of Money: Celebrating God’s Generosity (4th edition)
Ebook
Money touches everything in our lives. It communicates our values whether we want it to or not, often simultaneously resulting in what we prefer and what we regret. Those who wish to be thoughtful about how they reflect God's image in all things, do well to think through what they believe about earning and using money. This volume walks through a logical progression of how to think and act in regards to money, and provides scores of scenarios for discussion and application.
"Don't be fooled by the title. This book is about so much more
than money. Mark walks us through Scripture, history,
theology, and real life stories to challenge and inspire us to be
faithful, joyful stewards of life. This is a wonderfully thorough
treatment of money and its place in the Christian life. If readers
will complete Mark's suggested action steps at the end of each
chapter, their life will be forever changed…and blessed!"
--R. Scott Rodin, PhD, President, The Steward's Journey; Author
of The Steward Leader
"Consider this book your toolbox to reassess how you view and use
money compared to God's values. Identifying money's godlike
strength in our culture, it offers seven church practices to
encourage first fruits living. Vincent gives us a way to look at
our personal priorities, then reset our lives as God's
representatives committed to generous, grace-filled living. With
case studies, questions, and a leader's guide, it's an excellent
book for study groups.
--Betsy Schwarzentraub, Author of Afire With
God: Becoming Spirited Stewards
"The Fourth Edition of this classic is passionate,
challenging, and contextually current. The original book,
reflecting Giving Project theology, grounded my
former national Stewardship Development ministry and informed my
research on giving. The congregation I now serve has heard vintage
Vincent on money's God-like powers and first fruits living in
sermons, offering invitations, and stewardship teaching. I am
delighted to be able to share this updated version with
them."
--Barbara L. Fullerton, co-author with Mark L. Vincent
of Teaching a Christian View of Money (Revised and
Expanded), a web-based methodology to accompany A
Christian View of Money
"In A Christian View of Money, Vincent provides a biblically
based, theologically rich guide to thoughtful conversations among
Christ-followers about attitudes toward and use of the wealth
entrusted to them. Vincent's tone is celebrative and joyful. No
guilt here."
--Rebekah Basinger, stewardship educator and consultant, Dillsburg,
