This week’s theme on the Retirement Quick Tips Podcast is: Best Personal Finance Books To Read This Summer

Today’s book choice is: Managing God's Money: A Biblical Guide by Randy Alcorn

Did you know that Jesus says more about how we are to view and handle money and possessions than about any other topic—including both heaven and hell. In Managing God's Money, Randy Alcorn breaks down exactly what the Bible has to say about how we are to handle our money and possessions in a simple, easy-to-follow format. 

If you’re a believing Christian, then you should definitely care what God wants you to do with the money and material blessings He has given you. And Managing God’s Money by Randy Alcorn will help you gain a solid biblical understanding of money, possessions, and eternity.

It will also help you understand the problems with the all-too-common “health and wealth” heresy that many of today’s popular Christian preachers are promoting. 

When I read this book in 2019, it inspired me to create something like a family money manifesto that addressed the principles around money for our family. It’s our guide for lifestyle choices, how we view income and work, giving, what we’ll teach our kids about money, and what we’ll do with wealth that’s accumulated and our estate planning. 

These principles guide our decisions about money in a way that’s intended to honor God, rather than get swept up in accumulating more money, and getting more stuff, which is definitely contrary to God’s plan for us.

So if you’re at all unclear about how God wants you to handle His money, then I highly recommend this book

Pairs well with: This book isn’t technical or complicated, so it’s perfect for a beach or vacation read or something to unwind with before bed. 

That’s it for today. Thanks for listening! My name is Ashley Micciche and this is the Retirement Quick Tips podcast.
