Possibly the best-ever treatment of this subject!
Randy Alcorn has written a masterpiece. I cannot say enough about how much this insightful book has influenced my understanding of how Christians ought to think about and handle their material resources. This book addresses so many Biblical principles with such clarity of thought and focus that it's difficult to pick out the best highlights. I began dog-earing pages for future reference (something I almost NEVER do), and I ended up turning down the corner of nearly every other page! Alcorn is as insightful as Burkett, as practical as Blue, and as clear as Hendricks or Swindoll. Since everyone will answer to God in eternity, I believe this book ought to be required reading for every Christian. Alcorn is especially adept at examining the concept of "materialism" -- exactly what it is and what it means. Without a doubt in my mind, the finest book ever on this much-neglected subject. In addition, Alcorn's book had a major influence on co-author Jim Burgess and me when we recently wrote "The Debt-Free Church" for Moody Press. Thanks, Randy, and I pray that "Money. Possessions, and Eternity" is soon back in print

Common Sense Scriptural View of Temporal Drivers
I am submitting this book for addition to The Baker Family Foundation family wealth position statement to guide future generations on material decision making directed to honor God for both family comsumption and Foundation use. Long sought for text for one believing to be God driven to accumulate wealth. Not for the temporally poor nor ungodly rich. A breathtaking relief of common sense from comprehensive scripture texts and commentary about money, possessions & eternity.

Absolutely a must read
Simply the best book on the subject. Be ready for a good spiritual punch in the gut. I buy numerous copies of these and constantly give them away to those I am close to. Chock full of scripture and and wisdom. It's intention is not to instruct you on how to get out of debt or balance your check-book. Seek out Ron Blue or Larry Burkett's excellent resorces for this. Alcorn lays out a view of the eternal promises of God (specifically related to the subject matter), challenges us to believe them and dramatically alter the way most American Christians live our lives. If you want the "Cliff's notes" version pick up Alcorn's "The Treasure Principle." If you want to go deep work your way through this gem. Similar Products
