Among the Christian books on financial stewardship that I have read, this will probably go down as one of my favorites. This book did not leave me feeling guilty about how much (or how little) I am giving, but challenged to re-examine my relationship with money. Instead, using both his own experience and scripture, the author encourages readers consider adopting a mindset of generosity. While holding forth the importance of the biblical tithe (giving away 10-percent on one’s income), he encourages readers to start at whatever level of giving they can manage comfortably and consistently, with the goal of increasing that percentage over time. He challenges his readers to evaluate what their level of generosity reveals about their values and priorities. The main thrust of the book is more about transforming one’s heart than merely transferring wealth: if one makes a relationship with God a priority, one’s treasure eventually will follow. Also, his recommendations about seem simpler and more practical than other stewardship programs. Instead of producing and managing a detailed budget, he encourages readers to establish spending priorities, and to seek to keep one’s expenditures within those percentages. His plan is about starting small and working towards the goal of radical generosity, where one intentionally sets a ceiling on one’s lifestyle and gives away everything in excess of that standard. He stresses creating a legacy of generosity instead of simply an inheritance that our heirs will waste upon themselves. For what often is a very uncomfortable subject, this comes across as a very positive and inspiring book.
