I can almost hear the calm and familiar voice of the author through the pages...
This book compiles a few decades worth of financial books into a concise package for the reader. No fluff to be found here. Practicality is the key, the author however does not shy away from the theological aspects that motivate and inform as to why a Christian should make certain financial decisions, and there is room for nuance in situations that are not explicitly stated in scripture. In accordance with that, the more philosophical elements come first and then the practical. A good primer, and a must read for Christians that don't want to read 10 books on finances.
