Review:
I am thankful for Temple's book. Here is a man who loves God, loves the wisdom of the Word and is zealous to help you build a biblical worldview of your money and how you use it. What is even better is that he will not only challenge the motives of your heart and tell you how to think, he will also tell you what to do. --Paul David Tripp, author of Age of Opportunity.
Did you ever long for a simple, short, wise guide from a Christian perspective on how to handle family finances? John Temple has provided it in 'Family Finances', which covers the basics of biblical views on stewardship, heart-motivation, and generosity, as well as practical advice about living within your means, establishing a family budget, and addressing questions related to investments, insurance, debt, and much more. This little book is packed full of biblical principles and practicalities from a brother who lives what he writes. --Joel R. Beeke, President of Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary, Grand Rapids, Michigan
