About this ebook

Every Bible verse on finances, all in one book

In a world of shifting economic realities, few financial equations last very long. In the marketplace, countless writers, analysts, and con artists clamor for the public ear. Whose voice can we trust? Which financial principles will stand the test of time?

The Word on Finances sorts through the clamor of advice, plans, and ideas to bring us back to the final word we most need to hear: God’s.

Author Larry Burkett has organized an invaluable collection of relevant Scriptures into one easy-to-reference volume. Topically arranged New American Standard Bible passages and a concordance focus attention on 70 areas of finance and stewardship, all grouped under 8 headings:

• Right attitudes
• Wrong attitudes
• Credit
• Giving and providing
• God’s blessings and curses
• Investing
• Work and Wages
• Government

Borrowing, bribery, planning, saving, taxes, and more—if the Bible mentions it, it’s in this book. With Burkett’s practical wisdom opening each topical selection, The Word on Finances is a go-to guide for spending money wisely and in a way that honors God.

Ratings and reviews

An extremely useful reference on scriptures relating to finances. It first appeared in 1994, and I relied on my print copy heavily in the pre-Internet era.
