In this remarkable book, Dr. Gene Getz---without any personal or doctrinal agenda---addresses the question: What does the Bible say about money and possessions? With this question as his focus, he along with a select group of Bible students began a systematic search of the whole Bible for its teachings on this timely topic.
From this study, he gleaned 102 "supracultural" principles concerning the use of money and possessions that apply as aptly in today's world as in all other times and cultures. Each principle is solidly based on biblical teaching and offers practical guidance for everyday choices so that you can "be made rich in every way." Perfect for individual or group study.

Publisher's Description
Our relationship to our possessions -- few topics are more timely for today's blessed Christians . . . or more neglected. Yet author Gene Getz tells readers that the Bible says more about the things we own than any other subject except the Godhead. His thorough exploration of biblical history reveals overarching "supraprinciples" of ownership that apply to all people everywhere, then and now. Getz shows how Christians can resist the deadly tendency towards selfishness inherent in today's culture and how to use their possessions as effective tools for witness and spiritual growth. Avoiding both the extreme of "selling all and giving to the poor" and the greed-centered "prosperity gospel," he explains the biblical attitude toward possessions: a releasing of "this is mine" view of our possessions and allowing God's gifts to flow through our hands to meet human needs, demonstrating His love to an unbelieving world.
