True Riches by John Cortines and Gregory Baumer
3 Bullet Book: 2020, book #55: “Many people track their net worth but why not track your cumulative lifetime giving.” — John Cortines
Finished on July 24, 2020
After reading their book, God and Money, I thought that I would enjoy this one as well. It was definitely a great book. I didn’t find that there was the same depth and impact for me as there was with the original. However, this was a valuable read and one that I learned a great deal from. There are those things that we can do to solidify and reinforce the values and principles that we uphold — this book is one of those things.
The 3 Bullets
1. The authors focused on the heart. They centered the book around what we should be centering ourselves on throughout our lives. “What if we approached God with the enthusiasm a 5 year old has approaching their father? ‘Hey God, what are you doing? Can I help?’” Is this a question that you think is often asked? I don’t think that it is but I do know that it would make quite an impact if it was asked. God created this world with a perfect design. We sinned and now experience a broken world, yet, God loves. What if we could love as God does and what if we could live as God envisions?
