About the author
Charles F. Stanley
555 books676 followersDr. Charles F. Stanley is the senior pastor of First Baptist Church Atlanta, founder of In Touch Ministries, and a New York Times best-selling author who has written more than fifty books, and has sold more than nine million copies. He demonstrates a keen awareness of people's needs and provides Christ-centered, biblically-based principles for everyday life.
Charles Frazier Stanley was born September 25, 1932, in the small town of Dry Fork, Virginia. The only child of Charley and Rebecca Stanley, Charles came into the world during a time when the entire nation felt the grip of the Great Depression. To make matters worse, just nine months later, his father Charley died at the young age of 29.
However, Charles refused to let the Great Depression or the difficulties of his life define him. Instead, like his father and grandfather before him, he clung to God’s Word and took up the mantle to preach the gospel to whoever would listen.
Dr. Stanley’s motivation is best represented by the truth found in Acts 20:24, “Life is worth nothing unless I use it for doing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus—the work of telling others the Good News about God's mighty kindness and love.” This is because, as he says, “It is the Word of God and the work of God that changes people’s lives.”
Dr. Stanley’s teachings can be heard weekly at First Baptist Church Atlanta, daily on “In Touch with Dr. Charles Stanley” radio and television broadcasts on more than 2,800 stations around the world, on the Internet at intouch.org, through the In Touch Messenger, and in the monthly, award-winning In Touch magazine.

An Absolute Blessing!
This book has helped me to live God's promise to supply all my needs. I have learned many key principles of being a better steward of all that belongs to Him, all of which I am only a manager —all for His glory!
Dr. Stanley is an excellent teacher and great prophet binging the Lord's message. Bless Dr. Stanley, His genuine heart for God, and his ministries!

Great Bible study format and explanation of scriptures regarding financial stewardship

God wants us to prosper in all areas of our lives. He also wants us to trust Him and put or financial decisions in His hands. We also need to give back to God 10% (tithe) of what He has already given us. If we do this we will be blessed.
I agree with all Stanley sets out. He gets it right out of the Bible. Now implementing it is tough. I have learned over the years that I am way too self sufficent or at least I view myself that way. Putting my finances in anyone's hands, even God's, is not an easy thing for me. God often speaks to us in areas we need to address and I think this is one for me. I need to trust God and get ready to recieve His blessings.

Fairly easy read. Was looking for a good, balanced, biblical view of finances. Seems like most messages on money/prosperity are pretty out of balance these days. Wanted another view. Stanley, I think, is right on...its biblical...has to do with faith, scripture, but isn't in the "ditch"!! I read it on my own...but I think its meant for a group. Would be great material for a study group!
