Strengths and Highlights:

• The focus of Christian View of Money is to help readers apply foundational biblical stewardship principles to real-life situations at home and through their church. 
• Although Christian View of Money would certainly be interesting reading for individuals, it is designed for church groups to study together to facilitate fresh perspectives, encouragement, and accountability. 
• The book is built around seven Christian core beliefs about money through the lenses of scripture, church history, and the author’s experience.
• Each chapter concludes with a series of creative reflection questions based on several everyday-life situations, aimed at helping readers wrestle with their beliefs about money.
• Christian View of Money consistently challenges readers to move from reflection to action. After the reflection questions in each chapter, a series of imaginative practical suggestions are offered to help churches and individuals respond with concrete action. 
• This book is an excellent choice for church leaders who want to help their members be more deliberate in their exercise of biblical stewardship.

Things to be aware of: 

• Church leaders will recognize many - if not all - of the foundational stewardship themes Vincent identifies. What makes the book worthwhile is both the presentation and application of those themes. 
• Although Christian View of Money was originally written as a resource guide for Mennonite churches, it has also been endorsed by other church groups (including the Kalamazoo Diaconal Conference, a CRC/RCA partnership). 
• Churches looking for a fundraising manual will be disappointed. Christian View of Money aims at something much greater – a transformation of the mind, heart, and strength.
