    About this ebook

    What does the Bible Say About Money?

    Author Michael Davis provides answers that will give readers the confidence to view and manage money as God desires and help them understand a biblical definition of stewardship. He shows readers that money is not simply for accumulation and demonstrates that it is a tool to provide for our families and help others in need. He addresses tithing (giving), investing, debt, retirement, and estate planning in the book.

    The book uses Bible verses about money management and Bible verses about money and greed to teach God’s view of money while providing practical advice on how to utilize money. In addition, you will get answers to the following questions.

    • Does God want us to have money?
    • What does the bible say about money and wealth?
    • What does the bible say about money management?

    Kirkus Reviews says, “...it should be helpful to Christians who are interested in situating their financial lives with their religious commitments.” And called the book “A persuasive religious treatise with sensible financial advice.”

    Drawing from decades of experience, the author not only answers, “what does the bible say about money,” but also guides everyday financial decisions.

    The late Billy Graham once said, “If a person gets their attitude toward money straight, it will help straighten out almost every other area in their life.”

    This book will help you see that the Bible offers contemporary timely, and wise guidance on using money to serve and bless others while providing for your own needs. It will help change your attitude and view of money, tithing, and even your definition of stewardship.

    Isn’t it time to stop wondering what the bible says about money?
