Your money counts by Howard Dayton

The reason I gave two stars is because the book I purchased was full of red marked and underlined pages. I don’t mind if has been used extensively, but I don’t want any writing in my books.

Excelente herramienta para ministros y pastores!

Este libro es una herramienta esencial para las iglesias. Aprende a ensenar no solo a diezmar y ofrendar sino a saber como administar el resto de tu dinero! Excelente material.

excellent book. Dayton is a wise man

I recommend Howard Dayton's financial ministry, Crown.org, and books written by his late partner Larry Burkett. Very wise counsel. Both of them. your money counts is an excellent book. Make sure you get the lastest version when ordering.... it has a green and gold cover, with a small picture of money on the front. Date is from 1996. ISBN is: 0-9651114-0-7 make sure you get the latest copy. :)

Excellent Financial Overview

I have read this book three times, and each time I do I pull some great nuggets of golden wisdom out of it. This book is an overview of the Crown Ministries study which works to implement biblical principles on money in churches. If you are able to participate in a Crown small group in your local area, I would highly recommend the 12 week study...The book promotes a balanced biblical view of becoming a faithful steward in the areas of spending, saving, giving, investing, seeking counsel, working, avoiding debt, honesty and teaching children.The chapter on honesty at work is particularly convicting. He writes that most people define honesty as what we can get away with, but the Bible always defines it as absolute faithfulness to the unvarnished truth. I really enjoyed the part of the book about work and becoming focused on a calling from God.Dayton studied for two years the 2300+ verses in the Bible on money. He writes with candor and humility. I like that he challenges Christians to look at their lifestyle based on being faithful to God, and not automatically raise it with their income. Greed the silent sin is one of the most pervasive sins in our culture, he says.For anyone that is interested in becoming more faithful to God with their money, and would like to experience the peace and joy that comes from learning contentment, I would highly recommend this book.Ashley Hodge, CFPSouthlake, TX

Very enlightening view of money

This book was organized and an easy read. I found it very helpful in shaping my view on money. I also felt a great burden was lifted from my shoulders, do to the references given from the bible on spending, saving, earning, and giving. It will also prove to be a great reference book for the future.

I highly recommend this book.

This book is a thorough, Biblically based guidebook to personal finance. Everyone from the beginner to the financial expert will receive knowledge and wisdom from this book that could change their life. This book is useful for the Christian and non-Christian alike.
