Most Christians are asking the wrong questions about money―and it’s keeping them stuck.
John Cortines and Gregory Baumer met as Harvard MBA candidates in a men’s Bible study and stopped asking “How much should I give?” and started asking “How much do I need to keep?” With their top-notch education and rising careers, Cortines and Baumer were guaranteed comfort and security for the rest of their lives. However, when their plans for saving and spending collided with God’s purposes for extravagant generosity, they were each compelled to make a life-changing decision that challenges the values held by mainstream America and many Christian commentators. Cortines and Baumer show not only how to radically give but explain how to do so responsibly.

From the parables of the Rich Young Ruler to the Widow’s Mite, Scripture shows us that how we manage our money is critical to our relationship with God. God and Money uses these parables to teach you to save, spend, and steward your money in a biblical way by planting God’s purposes at the heart of your financial practices.
