Top Highlights

“The primary goal of this book, in contrast to other financial books, is not to help you become prosperous or even debt-free. Our chief goal is to encourage you to work, spend, give, save, think, and live to the glory of God (1 Cor. 10:31; 2 Cor. 5:9).” (Page 8)

“Wisdom thinks long term and is willing to postpone gratification” (Page 6)

“Many books about finances talk about setting goals. I, too, will promote goals, such as living by a budget and being debt-free. But our chief goal should be to glorify God in all things (Mark 12:28–30; 1 Cor. 10:31; 2 Cor. 5:9), including our working, our spending, our saving, and our giving. Alongside that, we should have the goal of using our financial resources to fulfill the second great commandment: to love others (Mark 12:31). Our thoughts and attitudes toward money along with our actions will be governed by these goals.” (Page 34)

“Greed (covetousness) is idolatry (Col. 3:5)—pursuing the glory that God alone possesses in the wrong places.” (Page 105)

“Going into debt (or cosigning for the debt of others) is foolish and can be financially ruinous” (Page 5)
