About the author

HOWARD DAYTON was born in Daytona Beach, Florida in 1943. After graduating from the School of Hotel Administration at Cornell University in 1967, he served two and a half years as a naval officer. In 1969, he developed a successful railroad-themed restaurant in Orlando, Florida. Howard began his commercial real estate development career in 1972, specializing in office development in the Central Florida area.
In 1974, after a business partner challenged him to study the Scriptures to discover what God teaches about handling money, Howard's life was profoundly changed. The Lord gave him a passion to share the life-changing principles he discovered, resulting in the authorship of four books, including Your Money: Frustration or Freedom, Your Money Counts, Free and Clear, Your Money Map, and his most recent title, Money and Marriage God’s Way.
Howard founded Crown Ministries in 1985 and developed a remarkably effective small group financial study. Crown Ministries merged with Larry Burkett’s Christian Financial Concepts in September 2000 to form Crown Financial Ministries®, the world's largest financial ministry.
Howard and his wife, Beverly, were married in 1971 and have two grown children, Matthew and Danielle. Howard and Beverly reside in Gainesville, Georgia, and have just completed leading their 55th small group.

[Tim · Rating 5 out of 5]

Howard Dayton has provided his readers a clear and concise guide to personal money management from a biblical perspective. There is far too much confusion about and mismanagement of money on a basic personal level among American families. Dayton insights assist in clearing up the confusion through basic biblical money management principles. I especially appreciate the fact that Dayton makes his point and shares his knowledge without being preachy, alarmist, or condescending. I highly recommend reading Your Money Counts and putting its information into one's personal practice. Your Money Counts is a resource that will provide information, guidance and encouragement for years. I want to express my personal gratitude to the wonderful family of First Southern National Bank, headquartered in Stanford, Kentucky, for providing Your Money Counts, as well as other helpful books on finances and spiritual life enrichment, through the FSNB self-improvement resource library. Soli Deo Gloria.

Great short read with very practical advice for debt, investing, saving, and giving from a Biblical perspective. I prefer God & Money by Cortines & Baumer, but this is a great supplement and tackles some difficult questions.

Great biblical foundation on finances. Can't wait or our compass small group starting next week.

The truth in this little book is straightforward and timeless. Howard Dayton explains both basic money concepts and, more importantly, why God cares about our money habits. Jam-packed with biblical insights and financial principles that will serve readers well, this book is a great resource to keep on-hand and give away to those who are seeking a godly route to their finances.

A very quick, easy to read book on finances. Lots of good advice. Comparable to Dave Ramsey and Larry Burkett in outlook.
