What happens when you budget and you give and you’re still out of money at the end of the month? Maybe you have a Counterfeit Conviction about your finances.
Your Money God’s Way by Amie Streater is a really excellent, eye opening Biblical approach to why people do the things they do with their finances. It is a book on finances, but not the kind of book I was initially expecting (something like a financial plan). The book was, in some ways, even better – it uncovered counterfeit convictions (half-truths or sometimes just plain lies we tell ourselves) about our finances and why we do what we do. Streater battled these counterfeit convictions with Timeless Truths: principles from the Bible applied to the situation, backed up by Scripture.
An added bonus for me was that a lot of the Timeless Truths can be applied to other areas of your life – say self esteem issues. Of course we are talking about Biblical principles here and the Bible applies to every area of your life, including finances. I was challenged by the book and as soon as I finished it I went over to my computer to review our budget and get to work on our finances. I will definitely be applying some of the Timeless Truths to my own life as I work to get rid of my own Counterfeit Convictions.
