Description

Jesus talked more about money than about heaven and hell combined….King Solomon is the wealthiest man who ever lived. In the book of Proverbs he mentions wealth and poverty as a major theme because of the need to give prudence to the naïve.’ Naïve Christians often ignore money because they think it is dirty and worldly. But Jesus did not ignore money. He talked more about money than about heaven and hell combined. There are twice as many verses in the Bible about money than there are about faith and prayer combined. We must ‘mix God with Money” if we are going to live out God’s purposes fully during our time here in this world.While struggling to get out of a personal financial crisis in the early nineties, Dennis Tongoi discovered truths on “Biblical Stewardship” as a result of his study of the Bible and reading of Christian literature on this topic. Unfortunately many of the books from the West fail to take into consideration the chaotic economies of the Third World; the social/economic context of Africa such as demands of the extended family and the lack of access to credit. The material in this book has grown out of the interactions at seminars held with fellow African believers on the continent as we sought to make the teaching of the Bible relevant to our context.
