Synopsis

A practical and inspirational book based on the principle of sowing and reaping. If we sow fear, what will be our harvest? And conversely, if we sow faith, what will we grow? This book moves the reader beyond fear and guilt about giving and into confidence, security, and excitement. Andy Stanley unpacks our irrational fears about money, helping us to discover that generous giving is actually an invitation for our heavenly Father to get involved in our finances and resupply us with enough seed to sow generously throughout our lifetime.

Goodreads review by Reid

Andy Stanley has authored a very good primer on the subject of Christian giving. He speaks quite a bit about the fear of giving. He also presents the "4 P's of Giving": priority, percentage, progressive, and prompted giving. This book increases my growing understanding of the heavenly value of earthly......more

Goodreads review by JJ

Fields of Gold, by Andy Stanley, challenges, without apology, our financial fears. While this book is about money, it is not primarily about giving, but rather trusting.
