Book Review: “Your Money God’s Way”

“As Christians, we have a responsibility to be good stewards of the money God entrusts to us.”


Amie Streater, author of
Your Money God’s Way, outlines seven counterfeit convictions that trap Christians in poor money stewardship, and she outlines the antidotes to those false convictions.


Seeing the book was endorsed by Dave Ramsey, I was excited to read this book.
When I got into it, I was a bit disappointed at the tenor and some of the scriptural application. That alone left me a bit hesitant to recommend the book to others.


I appreciate Streater’s stance on giving (give
something from the first fruits and work to increase that percentage) and budgeting (aim for ideals, but each family’s budget will be as unique as the family).


Overall, I found the book interesting, but not all that enlightening.
If you choose to read, I’d recommend it as a supplemental resource to other Christ-focused financial resources.
