Money talks. Money has power. Influence. It ascribes worth
and value. Almost like a god, money beckons us to worship
and idolize. In fact, money has become a god for many of us.
We work and work to get more, buy more, consume more-to
have the latest, the best, the better than we had before. We
stress about money. Will we have enough? What do we do
when the bank account gets too low? When the credit card
bills get too high? What happens when there’s more month
than money?
The good news is, money isn’t the only thing that talks. God
also talks. Even louder than money if we have the ears to
hear. God is speaking today through the power of the Holy
Spirit. And as much as the world loves to talk about money,
God has even more to say. What is He trying to tell us in the
midst of all this money talk? Simply this: He is enough.
So, how can we talk about money as it relates to our
relationship with God, others, and the world? This book is
spiritual, but it’s also practical. Throughout these pages
readers will explore how to actually earn, save, spend, and
give in a way that puts God, not money, first. There are
countless Christian books on money, but many of them focus
on worldly concepts-only attempting to fit God’s Word in as an
afterthought.
In Money Talks, the Roz and Callie Picardo share their hope
that in listening to God speak, He will direct our steps in all
areas- from earning and saving to spending and giving. That’s
why this book was written. Greed, materialism, debt, and
consumerism have a hold on so many hearts, and we want to
see people set free to worship God alone. It’s nearly impossible
to avoid the use of money in our culture, but it is possible
to seek God first in all areas of our life and put money in its
proper place: simply a tool used to give God the glory.
