Smart Money with Purpose:
Liberating the Goodness of Money in Your Life
Money management can be a tough topic to discuss. Too often books on personal finances focus merely on the practical, and they can leave you feeling defeated when the strategies don’t work for you.
Joe R. Kesler’s Smart Money with Purpose, on the other hand, is like a conversation with a financially wise friend. Rather than simply providing a list of tips, his book guides you to explore your own relationship with money, for better or worse.
Approaching money from a Christian perspective, Kesler debunks the myth that money is evil and instead points out that, though it can be corrupted, it is actually good. Without understanding this, it can be hard to succeed financially. Plus, the idea that money is a good gift from God strongly relates to the topic of purpose. We are all made to be stewards. When you discover your further purpose, you can determine how best to steward your money toward that end.
By laying the inner groundwork first, Smart Money with Purpose helps you uncover what trips you up financially, so when it comes to budgeting, addressing debt, investing, and more, you can determine how best to begin building a healthier relationship with your money.
