Are You Living the Good Life?
There’s no question, we’d all choose the good life any day of the week―and yet we don’t always understand how to make that happen. We constantly ask ourselves questions like Is it better to serve God or to serve people? How can I be a good steward of what God has given me? I don’t have a lot of money right now; is there anything else I can do? We know God calls us to be generous people, but what does that really look like? In this easy-to-read booklet, bestselling author Randy Alcorn answers these questions and shows us how we can do what pleases God, helps others, and is best for us―all at the same time.

Perspectives on Tithing
Was the tithe just for Israel, or is it also applicable to Christians? Must a tithe go only to your local church, or can it be received by any Christian organization? Do we tithe on the net or the gross amount? Perspectives on Tithing presents in point-counterpoint format the most common views about how Christians are to give of their financial resources, addressing the myriad of questions that surround the complex issue. Ken Hemphill (Empowering Kingdom Growth) and Bobby Eklund (Eklund Stewardship Ministries) contribute "The Foundations of Giving" while the book's editor, David A. Croteau (Liberty University), writes "The Post-Tithing View: Giving in the New Covenant." A chapter by Reggie Kidd (Reformed Theological Seminary) is called "Tithing in the New Covenant? 'Yes' as Principle, 'No' as Casuistry." Finally, Gary North (Institute for Christian Economics) looks directly at "The Covenantal Tithe," and Scott Preissler (Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary) provides the epilogue.
The Christian And Money
In this book, Z.T. Fomum talks about stewardship to the Lord manifested in giving to God . Stewardship means we give Him back everything because all we are, will ever be; all we have and will ever have, belong to Him. The author puts forth consecration as a fundamental prerequisite for a financial sacrifice to God and His work that is approved. God is interested first and foremost in you, before your sacrifice. The author also highlights the benefits of consecration. Consecration enables us to belong to the Lord together with our tithes. It is, therefore, necessary to know the fullness of the Holy Spirit and deliverance from the world's system as well as freedom from the "Self". Gifts to God and to the work of God are true investments in heaven. They move God to release abundant blessings for believers who give; especially if they give with love, established in a covenant with God. This is an important book that is easy to read and has a clear message.
The Law of Rewards
Randy Alcorn, best-selling author of The Treasure Principle, makes a clear, compelling case for an underemphasized scriptural principle: that believers will receive differing rewards in heaven depending on their actions and choices here on earth. Taken mainly from excerpts of Money, Possessions, and Eternity, The Law of Rewards shows how our faith determines our eternal destination but our behavior determines our eternal rewards. The Law of Rewards is published in association with Generous Giving, Inc., a ministry of The Maclellan Foundation, which offers practical tools and events designed to transform hearts and minds for revolutionary generosity.
The Treasure Principle
Flip-Flop Your Concept of Giving! Bestselling author Randy Alcorn introduced readers to a revolution in material freedom and radical generosity with the release of the original The Treasure Principle in 2001. Now the revision to the compact, perennial bestseller includes a provocative new concluding chapter depicting God asking a believer questions about his stewardship over material resources. Readers are moved from the realms of thoughtful Bible exposition into the highly personal arena of everyday life. Because when Jesus told His followers to “lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven,” He intended that they discover an astounding secret: how joyful giving brings God maximum glory and His children maximum pleasure. Discover a joy more precious than gold! Priceless treasure is within your reach. And with it, liberating joy . In Randy Alcorn ’s The Treasure Principle, you’ll unearth a radical teaching of Jesus—a secret wrapped up in giving. Once you discover this secret, life will never look the same. And you won’t want it to! “Supercharged with stunning, divine truth! Lightning struck over and over as I read it.” -John Piper , Senior Pastor, Bethlehem Baptist Church , Minneapolis “The Treasure Principle will change your life! This book is destined to become a classic.” -Howard Dayton , Co-CEO, Crown Financial Ministries “The Scripture passages and illustrations really ring true. Just what I needed!” -Hugh Maclellan , President, The Maclellan Foundation “I enthusiastically endorse The Treasure Principle . I hope millions will read it.” -Ronald W. Blue , Founder and CEO, Ronald Blue & Company Story Behind the Book After years of writing and teaching on the theme “God owns everything,” in 1990 Randy Alcorn was sued by an abortion clinic (for peaceful, nonviolent intervention for the unborn). Suddenly he had to resign as a pastor and was restricted to making minimum wage. Legally unable to own anything, Randy gave all his book royalties to missions work and need-meeting ministries. He and his family have experienced the reality of The Treasure Principle—that God really does own everything, takes care of us, and graciously puts assets into our hands that we might have the joy and privilege of investing in what will last for eternity.
