Book Review-'Your Money God's Way' by Amie Streater

I recently read the book 'Your Money God's Way' by Amie Streater. I am always interested in learning more about money management, especially from a christian standpoint. However, I was somewhat skeptical as I am a Dave Ramsey follower. I was immediately put to ease when I read in the author's preface that she used Dave Ramsey's plan as well.

There were many things I liked about the way this book was organized. At the end of each chapter, there is a prayer based on what the chapter was focusing on. Then there is 'God's Way', which reviews the most important points to take away from that chapter, and finally 'Solution Steps', which are simple steps to help you overcome the problem(s) that were focused on in that chapter.

The book included the basic fundamentals of money management, with plenty of interesting real-life stories, including the author's experiences. What I was impressed with throughout 'Your Money God's Way' was the amount of scripture reference and how to apply it to your life managing your money. Instead of just the nuts and bolts of how, this book really emphasized the scriptural 'why' of managing your money responsibly to God's glory. Even if you have read many budgeting books in the past, this book is a valuable resource for Christians.

I received this book free of charge from Thomas Nelson publishing in exchange for writing this review.
