The Treasure Principle : Discovering the Secret of Joyful Giving

Rating:
Summary: Must Read if you want a thrilling life
Review: WOW! I was sooooo impressed with THE TREASURE PRINCIPLE. Every page is dynamic. I was so inspired to take action with my life! I wish every Christian would read this--it's that good! So few people realize that THEY ARE BLESSED beyond words by giving. We're holding on too tight to money we think WE OWN and missing out on the good life. Randy Alcorn shows us how simple AND PAINLESS it can be to give a little bit of ourselves, our lives and yes, our money.

Summary: SOLID TEACHING ON STEWARDSHIP
Review: Wow! Should be required reading in our churches! Mr. Alcorn does not mince words here. The book lays out the clear teachings of Christ that we should not accumulate treasures here and now, but should "send them ahead" for use in advancing the Kingdom of the Gospel. This is a radical principle that should revolutionize each Christian family's finances and view of money and time. The author also includes examples of "excellent givers" who not just give a lot of money away, but who prayerfully and thoughtfully target their gifts with diligence to match the diligence of those who watch the stock market. Also abounds with examples in history of those who used the treasures they were entrusted with wisely to advance the kingdom, not pad their nests. No manipulation or guilt trips here, just solid teaching that followers of Christ should consider!
