[Stephen Hoogerhyde · Rating 4 out of 5]

This short but excellent book can be read as the 31-day devotional guide that it is, and also as an introduction to the subject of how should a Christian wisely manage what God has entrusted to him? Newheiser does an excellent job of grounding his thoughts and principles in Biblical texts, particularly the book of Proverbs (which I suspect most of us read very little, and would not think of as a place to go for advice about money). He also has some wise advice about finding a mature Christian to help you with your money questions and difficulties. In fact, numerous times throughout the book he advises you seek such help.

The book covers general issues about money; financial distress; digs into the heart issues that can either cause or be exacerbated by financial distress; looks at the ways in which God uses our work to provide for us; and offers good solid advice for getting out of financial distress, managing your resources, and learning generosity.

This book is for anyone who wants to be a faithful steward of God's resources, not just for those who have experienced financial distress. I highly recommend it!

This volume does an incredible job of talking about money constantly, with wise money principles, careful examination of Scripture, and a clear pointer towards the gospel. It's informative, and comforting as a counselling book should be. For the scope and intention of what it was aiming for, it has succeeded on every level.

I enjoyed this study, although it wasn’t quite what I was looking for regarding wisdom in money. I have been reading the contentment devotional alongside it, by Megan Hill, and I have enjoyed Megan’s much more because her reflections have daily pointed me to scripture meditation. Helpful overall!

Helpful meditations on what the Bible has to say about money and a variety of financial issues. This book is aimed more at someone in financial distress and less at the ordinary Christian just trying to be faithful with their money, though the principles in it are helpful to all.

A very good 30 Day Devotional book about personal finances. Solid biblical content and very practical advice.
