Book Review: Managing Money God’s Way by Bob Lotich

This book is all about changing your mindset around money. There are plenty of books with all the particulars of the how-to manage your money, but not a lot of books about changing the way you think about money. Even for that reason alone it makes this book worthwhile to read. And like it or not, money and your mindset around it, affects every person.

Mr. Lotich shares how God changed the way he thinks about money. The authenticity and openness were refreshing and never did I sense even a hint of any condemnation in this book.

He also shares new ways to look at familiar scriptures and lots of wisdom, plain and simple.

Overall there was a very positive tone, even almost joyful and I found the bite-sized chapters (divided into 31 days as a devotional) to be very convenient to read.

One point stood out to me and it is that it’s all God’s money and we are merely stewards. He talks about stewardship quite a bit so if you could use more information on that topic I definitely recommend this book for you.

This book is not loaded with a lot of particulars in the how-to manage your money area, but there were lots of general suggestions and lots of different topics were addressed such as, discontentment, stewardship, debt, tithing, budgeting, trust and giving.

A couple of quotes I enjoyed that were included in the chapter on money quotes were:

“It is possible to give without loving, but it is impossible to love without giving.” Richard Braustein

“You can everything in life that you want if you will just help enough other people get what they want.” Zig Ziglar

Since every person handles money in some form or another and there are precious few books dealing with a biblical mindset of money, I really recommend this book to every Christian!
