Amie Streater's "Your Money God's Way" Book Review

Jeff
As I review this book “Your Money God’s Way” by author Amie Streater I see a different approach to money management education. The author writes from experience and focuses on seven money myths or misconceptions which keep believers under financial bondage. Although the book is targeting Christians, the principles shared are for everyone.


Amie Streater's "Your Money God's Way"

Doing Amie Streater’s “Your Money God’s Way” book review is easy because I enjoyed the book. The principles she shared on stewardship backed up by stories from her own life, I believe, can hold a reader’s attention. She presents the principles she wrote by contrasting Biblical principles against what many believers believe to be right.

I would recommend this book to those who want to get out of debt, build wealth, gain financial freedom and stay that way for the rest of their lives. “Your Money God’s Way” successfully conveys Biblical truth about stewardship and how God is concerned about His children’s financial welfare.

I am thankful to have added this book in my library and am excited to teach on stewardship again. I look forward to reviewing other books from Thomas Nelson after Amie Streater’s “Your Money God’s Way” book review.

"Outlive Your Life" by Max Lucado | Book Review

Jeff
This review of “Outlive Your Life” by author Max Lucado is one that I enjoyed doing the most from the books I read during the past year. It is one of the books from Thomas Nelson. The title of the book itself is challenging. It is a book about making your life count for the world and leaving a legacy.

This book by a great author and story teller Max Lucado, "Outlive Your Life" with subtitle You Were Made to Make a Difference is a book that challenged me to look at the needs around me - the immediate community and the world. As a pastor of a 7-year old church who have also gone to missions trips locally and internationally, I was still compelled by the updated statistics about poverty around the world were presented in the beginning. It challenged me to continue what I am doing and inspired me to think of innovative ways to impact my surrounding community. I would recommend this book to those who feel that life is boring, dragging and tired of finding purpose in things that are shallow.

If there is a book that I could use to preach on and get illustrations, Max Lucados’s “Outlive Your Life” is one of them and I am glad that I was given an opportunity to write this book review for Thomas Nelson.
