John Temple sets out to describe the basic principles of good family finance and to provide practical advice in a number of areas, underpinned by biblical values.
The book starts with a chapter describing the secular view of money and how it has led to the recent financial crisis that we are in. This is followed up with the alternative view of money as laid out in the Bible, as John makes reference to teaching in both Old and New Testaments. Having laid out some general considerations with regard to living within one’s means and the ownership of personal debt, John turns to more practical matters as he devotes a chapter to each of a variety of financial topics ranging from your family home, car and holidays to insurance, pensions and pocket money.
