Management of Money Impacts Relationship with God, Spouse and Eternity

"""Management of Money Impacts Relationship with God, Spouse and Eternity"" is a very impactful and sobering read, that turns the focus from the practical benefits of managing God's resources His way (as presented within ""Financial Moments, Biblical Principles that Will Transform How You Manage Money"", and ""Debt Reduction, Biblical Principles to Deal with Inflation, High Interest Rates, and Eliminating Debt"") onto more of the spiritual benefits from doing so. I have studied Tom's core material on financial management God's way within various formats over the last several years, and the teaching and exhortation within this book provides a fresh perspective on how our actual day-to-day choices can affect us for all eternity. I would also recommend this material for anyone as a tool that can help the reader reflect on how the tangible (yet finite) resources gifted to us from the Lord (time and money) can connect to the meaning and purpose of our lives, which He has ultimately called us to. Eli Papakirykos, Chartered Financial Analyst ""Tom repeats and expands on many financial principles... repetition is good. Except for the case studies this is a workbook not a light read. It is not 'prosperity gospel' stuff but he certainly speaks of eternal rewards and benefits of wise financial stewardship decisions now. Rev. Jack Hannah, retired pastor, having ministered for over 5 decades. God has entrusted Tom with a mandate of great consequence: to study and teach financial Biblical truths that run counter to the cultural and social narrative. In this book, Tom challenges the reader to consider a paradigm shift - from managing our money, time and talents from a temporal perspective to an eternal one. This sentiment is grounded in faith and emphasizes an overarching principle in the Bible - beyond how we live our lives today and during our time on earth; we must consider the implications of our actions on how we will spend eternity. Anthony Martino, MBA, Chartered Professional Accountant I found Tom's book, ""Management of Money Impacts Relationship with God, Spouse and Eternity"", an excellent read and extremely helpful. I literally had to stop while reading it to thank God for Tom, for how he so thoroughly presented what the scriptures teach regarding the correlation between money and how it impacts all our relationships - God, spouse, family, and friends. In this book, Tom presents scriptural truth relating to money that I've never heard before. It was so simply and yet so profound. I sincerely believe everyone should read this book. You will find it to be an excellent guide for every area of your life, as it relates to our time now as well as from an eternal perspective; especially as it relates to the finances God has entrusted to us. Randy Ziegenhagel, financial coach and culture development advisor, former global culture officer and VP of business development and electronics manufacturing industry. I have known Tom Copland for over 25 years. While I was the Canadian Director for InTouch Ministries, Tom ran financial seminars for our donor base, and I can testify that he was a blessing to hundreds of people. I can highly recommend his book because it is totally based on scripture. Art Brooker, Chairman of the board, Intouch Ministries of Canada Modern life has produced a new skill called ""compartmentalization"". The idea is that our lives are so busy with so many things, one needs to separate the various categories in our minds to survive. Work may be going terribly, but if we compartmentalize it, it won't affect our home life. We may have pressing financial problems, but it needs to be roped off so that the money stress won't ruin all the other areas of our lives. In his new book, Tom Copland calls that into question. Can life really be broken into separate, disconnected, neatly unrelated pieces? Tom carefully follows the Scriptures and discovers that many of the ""compartments"" are not separate at all but are instead inextricably linked. Money is connected to our relationship with God, our family and even our eternal reward. Follow Tom as he untangles the modern clutter and presents a holistic, biblical world view that leads to a natural action-oriented plan. It's true that responding biblically to finances will put some starch in your bank account, but there is something so much more beautiful than a favourable monthly bank statement, such as rewards in heaven. The lives around you will be enriched and your ministry will be deepened as you apply what Tom teaches in this book. I commend it to you!""Rev. Don Symons, senior pastor Westney Heights Baptist Church, Ajax, Ontario Canada; former executive with a large multinational technology company. Tom's deep understanding and many years of experience provide a wealth of knowledge for readers. He clearly shows how knowing and implementing God's financial principles impact our everyday lives & relationships, as well as having impacts in eternity. It is both thought provoking and practical. A book that is beneficial for everyone to read and apply. Rebekah Young, financial coach."
