A thought-provoking financial guide.
What does a man who lived in the 1700s know about life in today’s world? Technologically speaking, not much. But on matters of human nature, the advice of an astute observer of the world is timeless. Theologian John Wesley is such a man, and his advice on finances is as practical now as it ever has been. In Gain Save Give, Peter Dixon takes many of the words of John Wesley and applies them to our day. The theme of the book involves not only how we gain money, but also what we do with our finances once we have earned it. In addition to featuring quotes from Wesley, the text also offers numerous references to relevant scriptures and to other insightful historical figures. Lists of actionable items are provided at the end of chapters to help emphasize key points and encourage personal application.
There are a plethora of books about finance on the market, but never before have I seen one that considers finances from a spiritual viewpoint in such a balanced, reasonable and practical way. Three main points are derived from the book’s content: How we should gain money, how we should save it, and how we should give it. In a world that focuses on gaining money at any cost and spending it with reckless abandon, it is refreshing to see sensible advice provided in each of these three areas. Peter Dixon does a superb job of taking the abundance of John Wesley’s wisdom and breaking it down so that readers can clearly see how to apply it in our modern world. Gain Save Give is a thought-provoking financial guide, perfect for anyone wanting a spiritual consideration of wealth.
