Reviews

[Evan Staffieri]

A great quick and easy read on finances and giving. I believe every Christian should read this if they have never read anything about what scripture says according to finances and giving.

I always enjoy reading MacArthur's books because he writes every book through the lens of scripture. Always enough scripture to feed from and that is what all of us need when it comes to life matters.

I will keep this book in case I ever need to go back through it again and re read certain chapters that had so much to say about biblical giving and stewardship to certain ministries.

MacArthur's treatment on Christian stewardship is a biblical and balanced study of what the Scriptures teach about money. MacArthur avoids the pitfalls of the prosperity gospel, while affirming the goodness of God in providing for his children's needs. He avoids the pitfall of legalistic teaching about tithing, while encouraging the New Testament principles of generous, proportionate, cheerful giving. His exposition of 2 Corinthians 8-9, which covers three or four chapters, is superb. His basic understanding of stewardship is soundly rooted in Scripture. His explanation of the true meaning of tithing in the Old Testament is persuasive. His application of Scripture to contemporary financial issues such as debt and gambling is needed and helpful. I found this a very wise book, full of Scripture and true to life.

Un buen libro para considerar las finanzas desde el punto de vista bíblico. Trata varios temas importantes (la mayordomía, el diezmo, la prosperidad según Dios, etc.). Creo que es claro y adecuado.

Por alguna razón, no me gustó la traducción al español, creo que es mejorable el uso de ciertas palabras para comprender mejor.

It was ok. That’s literally all I have to say.

[Byron Flores]

Como siempre el pastor MacArthur confrontándonos basado en la Biblia. Buen recurso para este tema

[Carl]

In the controversy of tithing or not to tithe. Macarthur serves up a healthy portion of scripture to chew on. It was tight but right. Gained a better aspect as to how God want us to be better stewards and what is the cheerful giver to be led by, the Holy Spirit, obedience and love.

[Lisa Kim]

Such a great book about finances, tithing, heart issues of money, etc. Too bad it's out of print.

[Scott Guillory]

Great look at the biblical view of money.
