Publisher's Description
Some researchers estimate that evangelical Christians give an average of 2 percent of their income to further the kingdom of God. Such a practice reveals a theology of material possessions that is clearly out of line with God's Word. Gene Getz in an extensive search reveals intriguing, detailed information on the subject of material possessions based on Scripture. The synthesis of this and selected extrabiblical literature resulted in the formation of more than 120 biblical principles that can be applied by any person in any culture. Dr. Getz not only shares these principles but offers guidance for church leaders and laypeople who want to apply them in their church.

“Dr. Getz is a rare breed of man devoted to the ministry of Christ who can write a theological work and make it both fascinating and interesting reading. I found his book on material possessions to be extremely informative as well as a practical tool for the local church. I especially found the format to be logical and easy to understand.”
“On a global scale, researcher David Barrett estimates that Christians give 0.017% of their income to missions. The reading and studying of this book should make a difference, not only in worldwide evangelism but in your life and mine.”
