The Blessed Life by Robert Morris • Focus: Biblical generosity, stewardship, and trusting God’s provision. • Key Idea: When you trust God with your first fruits and give joyfully, you unlock blessings beyond financial wealth. • Why Read: Anchors abundance in God’s character, not human effort. 2. God and Money by Gregory Baer and John Cortines • Focus: A Harvard MBA perspective on Biblical wealth management. • Key Idea: Offers a balance between wise wealth-building and radical generosity. • Why Read: Practical and deeply scriptural. 3. Your Money Counts by Howard Dayton (Compass/ Crown Financial) • Focus: Applying Biblical principles to spending, debt, saving, and giving. • Key Idea: Money is a test of faith and stewardship, not a source of identity or security. • Why Read: It’s been a foundational book for many Christian financial courses. 4. The Treasure Principle by Randy Alcorn • Focus: Eternal impact of generosity. • Key Idea: “You can’t take it with you—but you can send it on ahead.” • Why Read: Short, punchy, and truly perspective-altering. 5.

The Little Money Bible by Stuart Wilde • Status: Not Christian-based. • Focus: Metaphysical principles of prosperity and visualization. • Why Use With Caution: Contains New Age language (e.g., “universal mind”) that may conflict with a Biblical worldview. However, some ideas like being grateful and unblocking limiting beliefs can be selectively useful. 7. The Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel • Focus: How emotions and behavior affect wealth-building more than formulas. • Why Read: While not spiritual, it reveals the hidden mindsets that sabotage financial growth. 8. Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill • Focus: Mental principles behind wealth (desire, faith, persistence). • Caution: Influenced by New Thought philosophy, so not Christian, but often quoted in abundance circles. • Why Read: Great when paired with discernment and anchored in God’s Word. 9. The Soul of Money by Lynne Twist • Focus: Viewing money as a tool, not a master. • Why Read: Good for addressing guilt or shame around money, especially for mission-driven people.
