Rich in the Things That Count the Most
While we may or may not be wealthy when it comes to material things, James W. Moore says, every one of us can be rich in the things that count the most. True happiness, fulfillment, and wealth come from knowing that God is with us, and from being grateful for all of the blessings God has given us. Through Scripture and compelling stories of faith, Moore invites us to explore the real riches in our lives, those things “that will last and endure, that won’t rust or corrode or become boring or go out of style.”
Each chapter of the book features a key passage of Scripture and focuses on a key theme. A study guide is included.
Chapter titles include “Rich in the Scriptures”; “Rich in Soul”; “Rich in Church”; “Rich in the Power of Life-Changing Words”; “Rich in Christian Freedom”; “Rich in Gratitude”; “Rich in Generosity”; “Rich in Friendship”; “Rich in Real Life”; “Rich in ‘Because Of’ Faith”; “Rich in Mind, Body, and Spirit”; “Rich in the Risen Christ”; “Rich in Easter Faith”; and “Rich in Commitment to Christ.”
JAMES W. MOORE, popular speaker and preacher, is the author of Yes, Lord, I Have Sinned, But I Have Several Excellent Excuses; God Was Here and I Was Out to Lunch; When Grief Breaks Your Heart; There's a Hole in Your Soul That Only God Can Fill; and many other books. He and his wife, June, live in Fairview, Texas.

The riches that James Moore writes about in this book are those of character and faith. The chapters read like sermons where a story is told that relates to a Biblical passage that illustrates the theme of the chapter. If you have heard Moore preach then the style will be familiar. The chapters are short and the book includes a study guide for questions to consider on your own or as part of a group.
Moore values the church and its importance in the life of a Christian who wants to grow in faith and love and this is clear throughout the book. It is easy to read, but it does not sacrifice substance in being assessable to people of various ages and stations in the church. I did, however, want to go deeper into some of the subjects, but perhaps that is the whole idea!
This was used as a Lenten small group book study at church with weekly sermons relating to the assigned chapters. The second to last chapter is on the Easter faith and the last on commitment to Christ so it worked out well.
