Your Finances God's Way: A Biblical Guide to Making the Best Use of Your Money Paperback – May 3, 2022

Before reading these exciting book, I have read around 10+ books about personal finances with parts of the Bible, with this said, what I most I admire from Scott’s book is how deeply he goes through the GIVING area of our lives, at least, in my case, This was the topic that more confronted and transformed me through these book, that I 100% recommend.

The message in this book is impactful and forever life changing. God has made us stewards over the money he has entrusted to us. If you really have a heart to manage money based on biblical principles this book is for you! Mr. LaPierre provides practical advice that you may not otherwise consider due to the stress of life. The newlyweds who do not consider going into their marriage in the hole due to overspending on a wedding for instance. The young adult that is still under their parents' roof...... God could be using your parents NO as a guardrail for your future. Mr. LaPierre supports his family on a single salary yet remains debt free. If you want to know the biblical applications he is using to live a life of debt freedom, get the book. I will be using this book as a go to guide indefinitely. I also encourage you to get the workbook so that you can go deeper into your relationship with God and your use of money. Buy the book!! You won't regret it!!

Best investment to my life and financial path. Thank God

For years now I have followed Dave Ramsey, read his books, articles, blogs, and watched his YouTube videos. I even have his Everydollar app. But, I still have debt! Over and over I have come close to being debt free, only to aquire debt again. I haven't changed anything even with a budget and a plan! I have paid off all my debt twice in 6 years and 1 year go I was within two months of being debt free. Today my debt is the highest it has ever been in my life! I decided I needed something new, a different approach or even maybe try a different author. I'm so happy I did!In his book, Scott teaches the Word and what it says about our finances! He translates it so we can see how it's applicable to our lives. He teaches us about stewardship, covouteness, finances, money, and how God considers our heart in regards to it. All of his revelations are backed by scripture.He includes how to set up a budget, save for retirement, prepare for the future and invest.I have never felt peace when it comes to my finances. After reading this book I'm so encouraged, but best of all I finally feel peace! It's because of this book and how it teaches us to consider God's Will for our finances and to use our Bible for guidance. I really wish I could thank the author in person!

Skyrocketing gas, food, and home prices, interest rates, and runaway inflation: it seems finances are at the top of for everyone's mind these days, even if you're as well off as Mr. Musk and Mr. Bezos.So when Katie asked if I'd been interested in reviewing a copy of her husband Scott's book, Your Finance's God's Way, I said "Sure!" for several reasons:It's a timely topic, now more than ever it seems! The best time to plant a tree was 10 years ago, but the next best time is today.I needed a new good read, and while we've read and profited (no pun intended) from many financial books (Randy Alcorn, Mary Hunt, Dave Ramsey, etc.), this one stuck out to me as a study of the Scriptures.Scott and Katie practice what they preach and their lifestyle reflects what they value. That makes them experts in my book.Spoiler alert: A debt-free pastor and homeschooling Dad of 9, Scott didn't write Your Finances God’s Way to help you live extravagantly.This book is primarily about stewardship, and how we multiply what God has given us. Whether it be great or small, all that we have is His. Your Finances God's Way is intended to change or refresh the believer's mindset about money. All we have belongs to God. Financial blessings are not given so that we can advance our purposes, but so we can serve the Lord as we serve others. I appreciated how much Scripture in both the Old and New Testament Scott used to make the case for this.Your Finances God's Way starts with the heart, addressing spiritual issues like covetousness, contentment, greed, lusting after things we don't have. While this book is addressing the people of God, I'd lend it out to anyone. The Gospel is conveyed clearly, and provides the proper context for how we ought to think about money.Scott reminds us that "he who dies with the most toys still dies." Are our investments distracting us from eternal matters or working towards the Kingdom of Heaven?It's easier to be generous when we meditate on what we have been given through Jesus Christ!In the latter half of the book, Scott gives some practical guidelines for both those who have been given more or less talents to steward. This is not the main thrust of the book, but still very helpful if you're struggling financially. Most of these things we have implemented in our own family.My only criticism of this book is in Chapter 14 where the author uses examples of different women to illustrate poor money habits. He is careful to clarify that men struggle with this too, but it might have felt more balanced if he used men in his list of illustrations as well. Those who don't know the author, or are easily offended might take issue with this, but it was clear to me that Scott has equal respect for men and women alike.I would highly recommend Your Finances God's Way to anyone, regardless of income level. It is an excellent exposition on how God intended for His people to use the gifts He bestows on them. This is a topic Scott is clearly passionate about, and his love and concern for the reader's soul as well as their financial well-being is immediate and apparent on every page.The accompanying workbook makes Your Finances God's Way an ideal study, and I will likely use it for our oldest daughter this year as she begins high school. Financial literacy is incredibly important, but one from a biblical perspective is even more so!

If there is one thing i have learned reading this book is that i have a long way to go in order to have my finances God's Way. As with all of Scott's books, he uses them to make us think about what our own abilities are. This book will help you with that.This book will help you to "be doers of the word and not just hearers (readers) only" as long as we are to obey God and be a good steward of what he has given us.One thing i did notice is how we can see the love of money in other people, but it is so hard to see it in ourselves. We are told in Hebrew 13:5 "to be content with what you have."Wisdom is the opposite of foolishness. This book gives you the help you need to become wise and not foolish.This book will show you what to do and what not to do with our wealth the way that God desires. It is a lifelong process.So if you are thinking of having your Finances God's Way then this book is the best one to buy as he backs up everything with scripture from the Bible.

Every wonder what God's Word has to say about money? This book has all the info you need to begin your journey of being a good steward of God's blessings. Easy to read and understand, Scott does a phenomenal job of helping believers obey God in this area. Highly recommend!
