Reviews for Your New Money Mindset

[hfineisen · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

If you are looking for straight $x budgeting, see Dave Ramsey. This book is all about change your heart and you will change your relationship with money. How do you do that? By first going back to the basic teachings of Jesus. We have enough, share. Most of us suffer from "stuffocation". Being generous does not have to be just with money but can be time, energy, talents. Giving, say 10% does not have to be cash. Just give. This will start to change your focus, thus changing the consumer mindset we are working on transforming.This is an easy book to read and although the message is one that has been written before, it's a good reminder to have handy. There are discussion questions in the back and the anecdotes are relevant and relatable to most readers of a lower middle class to wealthy socio- economic status. It's a book you can pick up as a reminder and would make a good gift for graduates and newly married couples or couples joining assets.

A book to make you think about your relationship with material goods and money. Scriptural references and the teachings of Martin Luther are used as touchstones to provoke thought. This is not a "how to" or financial planning book. But the goal is to inspire the reader to live generously.

This pair of authors combine their theological and financial planning perspectives to advocate for toward a more balanced, Christian approach to managing the pursuit of enough. Their book is rooted in scriptural references, anecdotes from Martin Luther, and practical stories from their own experiences. It's a worthy point of view likely to spark a bit of self reflection in anyone, even more so to anyone caught up in the modern race for more of everything.
