THE MONEY MENTOR
Getting to grips with your finances
By Ash Carter. IVP. 182 pages. £7.99
ISBN 978 1 844 744 909
An excellent and biblical book about managing your finances, but not for the faint hearted. It is both spiritually challenging and practically demanding.
The first chapter demonstrates that the problem with money is us. Our problem with money is a disease of the heart (Jeremiah 17.9), so we are seduced by an ungodly world-view. ‘We have got it badly wrong, and for the sake of the church we need to get God’s house in order.’ We need to change both spiritually (chapters 2-4) and practically (chapter 5-13). The book ends with a call to ‘radical church’; our use of money should set us apart from those about us.
