Summary: Excellent, comprehensive and Bibical.
Review: Randy Alcorn has done the best job of anyone in truly uncovering what the New Testament teaches about the place of money and possessions in the life of a Christian. He does a great job interpreting Jesus' many teachings on wealth and prosperity. The fallacy of the materialistic "God wants you rich" theology is made obvious. God gives wealth and wealth is good but it is not to be hoarded and stored up on this earth. It is to be shared with the poor, the needy, and the martyrs in Christ. Christians will be judged based on what they do with the wealth God gives them.

Summary: Possibly the best-ever treatment of this subject!
Review: Randy Alcorn has written a masterpiece. I cannot say enough about how much this insightful book has influenced my understanding of how Christians ought to think about and handle their material resources. This book addresses so many Biblical principles with such clarity of thought and focus that it's difficult to pick out the best highlights. I began dog-earing pages for future reference (something I almost NEVER do), and I ended up turning down the corner of nearly every other page! Alcorn is as insightful as Burkett, as practical as Blue, and as clear as Hendricks or Swindoll. Since everyone will answer to God in eternity, I believe this book ought to be required reading for every Christian. Alcorn is especially adept at examining the concept of "materialism" -- exactly what it is and what it means. Without a doubt in my mind, the finest book ever on this much-neglected subject. In addition, Alcorn's book had a major influence on co-author Jim Burgess and me when we recently wrote "The Debt-Free Church" for Moody Press. Thanks, Randy, and I pray that "Money. Possessions, and Eternity" is soon back in print

Summary: The most important book to read on this subject
Review: Randy Alcorn's book is the best on the subject of money that I've come across for Christians who want to cultivate a heart that will lead to good stewardship of worldly possessions in this life. His biblical scholarship is top rate and his arguments are very timely and superbly articulated. I am amazed by the wisdom and discernment shown in this book and plan to read it over and over. I can't recommend this book more enthusiastically.

Summary: Absolutely a must read
Review: Simply the best book on the subject. Be ready for a good spiritual punch in the gut. I buy numerous copies of these and constantly give them away to those I am close to. Chock full of scripture and and wisdom. It's intention is not to instruct you on how to get out of debt or balance your check-book. Seek out Ron Blue or Larry Burkett's excellent resorces for this. Alcorn lays out a view of the eternal promises of God (specifically related to the subject matter), challenges us to believe them and dramatically alter the way most American Christians live our lives. If you want the "Cliff's notes" version pick up Alcorn's "The Treasure Principle." If you want to go deep work your way through this gem.

Summary: Money, Possessions, and Eternity
Review: This is a most insightful reading and has brought me clarity on God's earthly and heavenly economy. It compels me to be accountable in areas of stewardship (time, talents and money) in this life as I more fully realize the impact this has on the next life.I have one question: I wonder if this book is available in a synoptic version or even an audio cassette? I would like to be able to disperse this information widely in a format that is more accessible to people who, for various reasons, do not read books.
