Your Money God's Way by Amie Streater

Your Money God’s Way
By Amie Streater
I was drawn to read the book Your Money God’s Way by Amie Streater because times are tough and I want to learn as much as I can and make sure I am living my life and spending God’s money the way He wants me to.
In this book Amie Streater not only teaches us “why” we need to handle our money God’s way but she also teaches us “how” to handle our money God’s way, and she shows us why we are not doing that already. She says that for too long pastors have ignored one of the most common problems plaguing Christian families: financial ignorance.
Reading this book will change the way you handle your money. Even if you think you currently have it all “under control.” There are always ways to make things better for yourself and others. Amie shows us how we can be “free” financially so we are free to help others in need.
Amie helps us understand counterfeit convictions that are beliefs that started out as biblical truths but were absorbed incorrectly into our hearts. There are many reasons we have trouble handling our money. Amie gives many examples from her experience as a Financial Minister and offers ways from God’s Word to re-organize and do it God’s way.
If you let this book change your way of handling money, you will be able to be successful in handling your own finances and be a blessing to others as God would have you be. At the end of each chapter Amie outlines solution steps you can take to regain control of your finances.

Out Live Your Life by Max Lucado

Out Live Your Life
By Max Lucado
I was drawn to read the book Out Live Your Life by Max Lucado because that is what I want to do and intend to do with my own life. I want to live my life in a way that will leave a legacy of love and Christian faith that others may see, understand and desire to do the same. To “Pay it forward” and out live their lives as well.
In this book Max Lucado reaches into the Word of God to show us who we are in Christ. Why we have been created and how God has equipped us to do what we have been created for. In God’s word’s we will learn how to be “a doer of the Word and not just a hearer.”
Max explains how very “individual” we are. We are created in God’s image yet we are unique and there is none like us. We have been given a life. We did not ask for one but we have it, a first day, a last day, and any number of days in between. Our days are accelerated and as each one goes by it becomes one of the good old days, a part of our past. And if we are not careful our shot at life will pass us by.
Reading this book will change your life if you let it. You will not live and die and never ask why, rather you will grab each moment and not let your fleeting vapor of life pass by without having left something behind for others to “pay it forward.”
Max shows us that God wants us to be His hands and His feet, loving and caring for His people with His heart. He compares stories in the bible with people of today and yesterday and he tells how they out lived their lives by doing for others things that change the world, one obedient heart at a time.
If you let this book change your life, you will then be able to reach out and change the world as you “Out Live Your Life.”
