Publisher's Description
How Are Your Finances Shaping Your Heart? Jesus knew that how we think about money shapes our character. Our approach can make us more like him—full of contentment, purpose, and freedom—or it can cause a tragic separation from God and the joy he offers. We need a firm foundation for faith and finances. In True Riches, John Cortines and Gregory Baumer invite us to experience four transformations in our financial lives, moving from pride to gratitude so that we see everything as a gift; coveting to contentment so that we spend wisely; anxiety to trust so that we save appropriately; and indifference to love so that we give extravagantly. Full of scripture, personal stories, and practical application, True Riches offers a clear path away from the empty pursuit of wealth and into more intimate relationship with God. All author proceeds donated to charity.

“I deeply admire John and Greg for not only giving us this thoughtful new perspective on how to truly honor God with our money and possessions, but for also transparently sharing their own journeys of discovery and learning. Rather than just accepting conventional Christian wisdom on this all-important topic (which often amounts to slapping ‘a Christian halo over the American dream’), they share fresh and powerful insights into biblical truth, and then give us practical tools to evaluate our own personal financial picture. But this is not about guilt-tripping us into ever-more-responsible stewardship. Instead, John and Greg illustrate how God is inviting us on a rewarding adventure of faith, to partner with him to fulfill his kingdom, and to grow spiritually in the process. process. Whether you just got your first paycheck or have managed wealth for many years, you need to read this wonderfully inspiring book that challenges us to rethink how our relationship with our money is really affecting our hearts, our world, and our relationship with God.”
