Derek made this plain and simple. It is not God's desire to see those who love Him poor. God conscious people are always rich in spirit and THROUGH that spirit the physical manifestations come.

I purhcased multiple copies to put them into the hands of others that they may find some of the same value i found...

this work is appreciated....

Great book for Couples!!!!!!! 5 out of 5 stars.

Wonderful job of explaining how an economy begins and showing where ours is and where it's headed (cashless system). Full of biblical truths concerning principles of finance. "Your Finances in Changing Times" is a well written, easy to understand and very informative book that will help you put your finances back on track by putting God back in the midst of things. Learn to be a good steward of what God has blessed you with and position yourself for Him bless your finances. Steven (N.C.)

Burkett's Best 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

True, Mr. Burkett says a lot of the same things in this book that he said in his other books but there were a few differences in this book. I was most impressed with what he had to say about the church's role in charitable giving. Prior to reading this book I was unclear of that role. I am of the opinion that every Christian needs to come to terms with finances and material possessions and Mr. Burkett, God bless his soul, provided the best explanations that I have come in contact with. Let me sum it up this way: if you are consumed and caught up in the rat race this book will show you a way out. Powerful stuff.

Editorial Review:

This book is a perfect introduction to basic financial management. It is a complete money guide, offering practical suggestions for building a sound financial program in the context of a Christian value system.

Good Intentions: Nine Hot-Button Issues Viewed Through the Eyes of Faith

Thoughtful Engaging Book of Faith and Economic Issues 5 out of 5 stars.
9 of 9 people found this review helpful.

Is greed ever good? Is Bono right? Is Wal-Mart evil? Does globalization exploit the poor? Are immigrants taking our jobs? Is capitalism ruining the environment? Charles North and Bob Smietana take on these and other questions in this book. North is an associate professor of economics at Baylor University and Smietana is a correspondent for Religion News Service.

The book opens with stories about the corporate histories of Krispy Kreme Donuts and VeggieTales, highlighting how people with great ideas and good intentions failed to adequately anticipate the economic consequences of their actions. The authors write:

Why aren't good intentions enough? Because we live in a world of scarcity, a world where we can't get everything we want for free. (16)

North and Smietana believe all material goods, including food, are God's provision for all humankind. The goal of Christian economics is to figure out how to get goods into the hands of as many people as possible. That isn't easy but they see this as a guiding biblical principle that is joined by other principles.

* Everyone deserves a fair shake.
* Everyone works.
* God wants people to prosper - to able to make a living.
* Some people, for a number of reasons, will fall behind and lose the means to make a living.
* God wants those people to be restored so they have access to the means to make a living. (20-21)

With that said, the opening chapter highlights how European employment protection laws, enacted by well intentioned people, have had significant negative consequences for society. I particularly loved this passage:

"Good intentions do not assure good results, and they can at times lead to policies with perverse unintended consequences. As in the rest of life, the road to economic hell is often paved with good intentions."

"In his book, 'The Screwtape Letters', C. S. Lewis's imaginary senior devil gives his nephew advice on how to confuse human beings and lead them to making poor choices."

"'The Enemy loves platitudes,' Screwtape writes. 'Of a proposed course of action He wants men, so far as I can see to ask very simple questions; is it righteous? is it prudent? is it possible? Now if we can keep men asking `Is it in accordance with the general movement of our time? Is it progressive or reactionary? Is this the way that History is going?' they will neglect the relevant questions.'" (24)

With that introduction, North and Smietana launch into the questions I listed at the beginning.

One of the themes that pervades the book is the centrality of human capital. Human capital is not only about having the physical wherewithal to function on a daily basis but having the intangible skills, abilities, and spiritual resources that allow a person to be a creative and productive member of society. For many years I've believed the nurturance of human capital should be the focal point of societal transformation and the authors do I fine job illustrating the importance of this throughout the book.

This book is a real gem. It gives a balanced and nuanced exploration of some hot-button issues written in non-polemic easily accessible style. I think this book would work very well for a discussion group and there are resources for just such a thing at the Good Intentions website. I highly recommend this book.

Editorial Review:

Most of us turn to the Bible for decision making, but since the Bible deals in morality and value, it's difficult to apply its principles to the economic choices we make each day. However, by measuring the outcome of these choices with the use of economic theory, we can determine long-range implications and more easily evaluate them according to biblical criteria.

Good Intentions suggests that it is possible to do good in economic

THIS IS A GOOD BOOK, FOR FAMILIES OR INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE SERIOUS ABOUT CREATING AND STICKING WITH A REALISTIC BUDGET, IT CAN BE A LITTLE OVER- WHELMING, BUT OVERALL IS A RESOURCE BOOK TO KEEP

A great method to get your finances under control! 5 out of 5 stars.
4 of 5 people found this review helpful.

I bought this book several years ago and since then my financial and spiritual life has changed dramatically. I found that once I looked at my finances as a spiritual matter, I was able to gain control of them as an act of obedience to Christ.

The workbook is a great first step toward financial discipline. Budgeting and sticking to your budget is key. Once you live on a budget, you will never stop. The freedom living on a budget brings is phenominal.

Don't ever think you don't have enough money to establish a budget without breaking it, because in reality, you just don't have enough money to live without a budget.

This is a great book on personal finances. I would highly recommend it.

Editorial Review:

Financial expert Larry Burkett introduces the ultimate family money management workbook. His sensible, realistic plan for getting and keeping your finances under control includes easy-to-use worksheets that make following the plan as easy as possible.
