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.

I read this book several years ago, and enjoyed it. There was a lot of very biblical information on finances and I think Christians in the western world will have a hard time with that, because the Bible itself is rather extreme when it comes to its teachings on money.

I also remember that Alcorn rabbit-trailed a lot and that the book could have been extensively edited. It was tedious reading at times. ( )

Acorn applies his eternal perspective to the subject of money and, in he process, brings great clarity to the multitude of passages that speak of reward and treasure in heaven. This book will challenge you to store up treasure in heaven in new ways. Highly recommended! ( )

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. ( )

[Introduction] The man of pseudo faith will fight for his verbal creed but refuse flatly to allow himself to get into a predicament where his future must depend upon that creed being true. He always provides himself with secondary ways of escape so he will have a way out if the roof caves in. What we need very badly these days is a company of Christians who are prepared to trust God as completely now as they know they must do at the last day. -- A. W. Tozer
He who has God adn everything has no more than he who has God alone. -- C. S. Lewis

Jesus Christ said more about money that about any other single thing because, when it comes to a man's real nature, money is of first importance. Money is an exact index to a man's true character. All through Scripture there is an intimate correlation between the development of a man's character and how he handles his money. -- Richard Halverson
Dedikation
Information från den engelska sidan med allmänna fakta. Redigera om du vill anpassa till ditt språk.
To our precious daughters, Karina Elizabeth Alcorn and Angela Marie Alcorn, with the prayer and expectation that your dreams will not be the fleeting dreams of a materialistic culture, but the eternal dreams of the Risen Christ.
I wrote the above dedication in 1988, when our girls were seven and nine. Since then I've walked them down the aisle and given them away in marriage. God has graciously answered our prayers about their dreams being Christ's. We're so proud of them, and delighted to see them in their new season of life. Nanci and I want to expand this dedication to include their husbands:
To our wonderful sons, Dan Franklin and Dan Stump: May you continue to follow the Lord wholeheartedly, loving our daughters as Christ loves His church, and loving Him above all. We thank God--and your parents--for you.

[Preface to Revised & Updated Edition] Much has changed since 1988 when I finished the original edition of this book.
Were we the Bible's editors, we might be tempted to cut out much of what it says about money and possessions.
