I've long appreciated Randy's book Money, Possessions and Eternity, and that book, more than any other, has shaped my thinking about this topic. I first read it back in the mid 1990's and have recommended it to a number of people throughout the years. However, because of its lengthy nature, it's not very easy for people to pick up and read. 

So I was thrilled when I saw Randy's new book Managing God's Money. I quickly got a copy and after thumbing through it, I ordered 1,200 copies to pass out at our church for a financial series we were beginning  soon. 

We matched up the six sections of Managing God’s Money to the six message topics in the sermon series on finances. We created a bookmark and placed them in the books with each week's reading assignments on it. We then created a two-page study guide for all of our small groups that utilized material from Randy's book. We also created a leader's guide for the material. For people who were not in a small group, we offered night classes during the week.

Because of the inexpensive nature of the book, there is no reason every church in America couldn't do what we've done. I pray the truth of Scripture on this topic settles deep in the hearts of Christians everywhere. 

Blessings,
