What the Bible Actually Says About Money - by Scott Morton (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Does God Want You to be Wealthy?

It is said that the Bible has over 2000 verses about money, but does it say you are out of God's will if you are not wealthy? Most of us have strong opinions about money, but let's admit our opinions originated from parents, church or our common sense. Rarely do we study Bible verses on money. For your spiritual growth, you owe it to yourself to take a few minutes each day for a month and discover first-hand what the Bible actually teaches about money. So let's start with 31verses--not 2000. Fasten your seatbelt and enjoy the ride!

"31 Meditations gives biblical answers to the financial questions no one talks about. Scott
Morton brings fresh insight to scriptures I've read dozens of times."

Review Quotes

Warning! This book may challenge how you think about money. In his conversational style, Scott Morton takes us into the Word for insights and practical principles. Thank you, Scott, for daring us to make financial stewardship a part of our daily walk with the Lord. - Dave Blomberg Director of Ministry Partnership Mission Aviation Fellowship

What the Bible Actually Says about Money biblically addresses the serious challenges we face daily in Africa. When a minister of the gospel raises the topic of money, congregants hold their pockets with both hands! This comes from unbalanced teaching on giving and tithing. The lifestyle issue is also important. Some veer off into the health and wealth gospel, and others believe that if you are rich, you must be consorting with demons! I look forward to using this book, starting with my family, and then to our wider ministry. - Chris Amulo, The Navigators National Director, Kenya

More than any other aspect of discipleship, one's attitudes and actions related to money provide a barometer for spiritual maturity. By going directly to Scripture, Morton cuts through the conflicting values of tradition, the church, and culture to examine Kingdom values. - Donna Wilson Senior Fundraising Consultant and Coach, InterVarsity Christian Fellowship

Scott's devotions are a welcome addition to the conversation on earning and giving. His thoughts are sure to challenge you, but they will drive you closer to the Father's heart. Don't just get a copy for yourself, buy copies to share with your family and faith community. They will thank you. - Marc A. Pitman, CEO The Concord Leadership Group LLC Greenville, South Carolina

I found these quick, easy-to-read meditations to be both scripturally based and practical. It's evident they come from Scott's study of the Scriptures as well as the way he has lived his life. Scott's humor and his reflections are counter-cultural and thought-provoking. I found myself taking more time reflecting than in reading the meditation. Anyone who reflects on these writings will have a deeper understanding of what the Scriptures say about money. Warning! Be prepared to have your thinking challenged. - Scott Landon Executive Pastor of Administration Wheaton Bible Church, Wheaton, Illinois

What the Bible Actually Says about Money, written in Scott's comfortable, sometimes humorous style was truly a gift to me. Myths about how much to give and where to give have circulated for far too long in the body of Christ. Attitudes toward lack or abundance of money, fear of the future, and the treatment of others with our money spoke to my heart. Looking at Scripture to get a better view of Jesus and how He treated money was helpful. I need this book! And I will share it with others. - Judy Wolter Discipler and Bible-study leader in Michigan

Scott Morton, in bite-sized portions, gently guides us in how to live a life of understanding stewardship. Scott is uniquely qualified to speak to the issue of money and heart. Why? Because he lives out what he writes about. He is authentic, and as a result, his words resonate with those who understand discipleship. Read it, buy copies for your friends, and create a movement of responsible stewardship! - Lauren Libby President, TWR International
