Book Review: The Treasure Principle




Randy Alcorn's The Treasure Principle is a must read for every Christian. So often our heart and faith is intricately attached to our finances, thereby limiting our spiritual development according to how much we have in our checking account.

The 6 chapters of TTP break apart our faith-restricting financial hold by discovering how valuable the kingdom of God is in comparison to our selfish pursuits, freeing us up to maximize our resources for eternal payoffs through giving, gaining a perspective on our money by keeping our focus on eternity and not the now, overcoming various roadblocks and excuses that we so readily throw up to generous giving and eternal living, and providing a step by step process for launching into a life of giving

Besides the richness of the first 6 chapters, the last part of the book is with the investment. The giving covenant (pg. 96) helps to formalize our commitment to the giving principle. Lastly, the last section "31 Radical, Liberating Questions to Ask God About Your Giving" will bring the principles of the book into the backyard of every reader causing personal reflection rooted in biblical references.

Pick it up today and get another for a new Christian.
