The problem: our lust for autonomy -- All I have commanded -- God's management agreement with man -- The sin of materialism -- Presuming on the future -- Standard of living -- Giving: Old Testament survey -- Giving: New Testament teachings -- The tithe -- Pay your taxes -- Borrowing and lending -- How to get out of debt -- Owning a home: the American dream -- Storing God's property -- Principles of investing -- Retirement -- Biblical estate planning -- Who owes who?

Subject: Biblical Economics is a must-read-and-heed treatise on managing God's money. It is especially timely in this day of easy borrowing, rampant materialism, and affluence that all too easily seduce us into taking possession of God's property. The wisdom of following God's principles for handling HIS money begins at "Square One," the biblical proposition that God is in control and has our best interests at heart. On this foundation, the case is built for following financial principles that will avert a lifetime of onerous debt, provide for our needs, and above all, store treasures in heaven. Among the author's one-liners, "You cannot borrow your way out of debt.....wealth must be acquired before it is consumed.....a credit card is a device which creates the ability to buy without creating the ability to pay.....allocate your resources instead of trying to pay for your desires."
