Introduction
Money makes the world go round, or so it seems. Vast sums change hands every
day in a global economy that affects virtually every man, woman and child on the
planet.
Paradoxically, in this time of wealth and opportunity, millions of people struggle
to survive economically. With consumer credit reaching gigantic proportions, many
find themselves mired in debt. Anxiety about money matters takes an enormous toll
on mental and physical health and general well-being.
What can you do about money problems? Where can you turn for simple, practical guidelines
to help manage your personal finances? Libraries and bookstores provide readers with
various principles and theories about money management. Books and videotapes assure
readers they can be financially successful; others tell us we can become millionaires
practically overnight.
But do you realize that sound principles are to be found in a book you probably already
own? The Holy Bible offers proven financial advice and economic guidelines. The book
of Proverbs alone reveals much about how to manage your personal finances. When we
apply the principles we can find in Proverbs, they usually add up to economic success,
financial stability and peace of mind.
Jesus Christ talked about freedom from economic want: "I am come that they may
have life, and that they may have it more abundantly" (John 10:10). Abundant
life includes financial peace of mind. Throughout the Bible we can find specific
financial principles and advice. When we properly apply them, they work for our benefit.
