This is a great book to help those of us who see money as an important, but just one, aspect of a full and meaningful life. Most financial advice boks seem to be based on the premise that we all want go be gazillionaires and will do anything to get there. Matt Bell's book shows a more holistic and human way of looking at our money in the context of ones values and big-picture goals. It is also full of practical advice that gives one a place to start. A great read.
Sound financial advice for scary times October 6, 2008

I'd recommend this book to almost anyone...those who are new to managing finances and want to get off to a good start and those of us who just need a reminder of what good money management looks like and why it's important. Matt Bell has presented sound financial concepts in a bold, new yet understandable way. In an environment where each day brings more financial bad news and uncertainty is certain, this book can offer hope. It's not a 'too good to be true quick fix' but if you're ready to take a thoughtful, disciplined approach to money management and reduce or possibly even eliminate financial related stress, then this book is a must read. And if your really serious about making changes, I'd highly recommend reading this book with a friend.
A Unique and Powerful Challenge September 17, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Rarely do you read a personal finance book that says one of the main problems with our finances (and, undoubtedly, there are many for the average American!) is that we haven't stretched far enough. No, Matt Bell isn't encouraging the reader to extend that line of credit just a bit further or to take advantage of that "great" new credit card offer, rather Bell writes that we've been fed a lie and believed it wholeheartedly. Culture would have us believe that we're consumers - wasters, really - and that we're fulfilling our economic obligations when we buy, buy, buy.
In "Money, Purpose, Joy", Bell offers a different challenge: to be builders, not consumers. Instead of fruitlessly throwing money after the latest craze, we should build into the relationships that matter most - starting with God. Bell writes that we need to flip our money usage from: Buy, Save, then Give - to Give, Save, then Buy. This allows us to invest/build into things of significance - these are the things that we should be stretching for.
Though there are a number of personal finance books to be found, this one stands apart. Read it and be challenged.
