| Publisher Description: "Jesus' advice ruined what I planned to write." It was the recipe for a great book. John and his wife--both financial experts--had cut their income by 80% to pursue more meaningful lives. Within six years they had two kids, were debt-free, went on several vacations, and doubled their net worth. John was ready to share the biblical principles that made this possible. But he couldn't. After reviewing Scripture's teaching on money--over 1,300 verses--he realized he had missed something big. Jesus' Terrible Financial Advice turns even conventional Christian wisdom on its head. While it answers many of the practical questions we have--like does Jesus want me to be rich or poor? Should I give to everybody who asks? Is it wrong to save?--it goes beyond these concerns. It asks bigger questions, gives bolder answers, and offers a more comprehensive view of stewardship. Follow Jesus' "terrible" (shocking, otherworldly) financial advice, and you'll have what money can't buy: purpose. |
