Book Review: Your Money God's Way


Amie Streater is the associate pastor of financial stewardship for the 10,000-member New Life Church in Colorado Springs. From her own experience, as well as the experience of countless others she has assisted, she knows what it’s like to look at an impossible pile of bills. In Your Money God's Way, she walks through her own financial turnaround and, in the process, uncovers seven “counterfeit convictions” Christians believe that hinder their personal finance success.

I began this book by reading the introduction. The introduction consists largely of her personal experience of financial disaster. It was so similar to other financial disaster testimonies I have read, that I almost didn't continue reading. But please, if you read this book, read beyond the introduction, because beginning with the first chapter is a wealth of information. I had my highlighter at the ready because there was so much in this book that I wanted to remember.

Sprinkled with scripture reading and suggested prayers, anyone dealing with financial difficulties will certainly find comfort and hope in this book. Streater walks through the 7 "counterfeit convictions". Then, in the final chapters, helps readers to develop a plan for moving forward. She doesn't pretend it will be easy, but instead offers very practical suggestions for making it work.

Your Money God's Way: Overcoming the 7 Money Myths that Keep Christians Broke is available at Amazon.
