review 1: Although I wasn't necessarily excited about reading a book on generosity, I have to confess that this book was amazing. I am more committed than ever to becoming a generous person. Here are a few of my favorite thoughts from the book:"We're so absorbed in the effort to get rich, we no longer recognize when we are rich""The richer people get, the smaller the percentage of money they give away""Having lots of money doesn't make you good at being rich any more than having lots of children makes you good at parenting.""I will not trust in riches but in him who richly provides""Whenever we have more than we need, our natural assumption will be that it's for our own consumption.""No matter how rich or poor you may feel, right now is the time to be generous.""The percentage matte... morers more than the sum.""You miss money you misspend. You miss money you waste or poorly invest. But you never miss money given to meet a need in someone's life.""Whenever I give God something, it's really just symbolic. The idea that we ever 'give' God anything is really just a myth.""The best ministry we can offer on God's behalf isn't to explain our theology. It's to extend our generosity. Because that's what our Heavenly Father did for us. And that's what he's asked us to do as well."
review 2: **I received this book for free from BookLook Bloggers in exchange for an honest review.**In the book “How To Be Rich”, Pastor Andy Stanley provides key steps to instruct people how to be good at being rich. He encourages his key readers, mostly Americans, that they already are rich, especially compared to most of the world. He instructs the reader to live a life of crazy generosity, in order that we may avoid the evils of greed, bless those who are less fortunate, and do our part to build the Christian movement.Hardly anything in this book is original. It is full of excellent financial stewardship advice with Andy Stanley’s characteristic humor and charm. Andy provides plenty of illustrations and stories to back up his points, which made for a quick, entertaining, and thoughtful read. However, I was disappointed with a lack of original content. Stanley is known for his unique outlook and presentation on his tpics, and I did not find that in this book. Other things I did not find were answers to common questions and concerns about Christianity and money. If Jesus tells rich people to sell all they have and give to the poor, can we reconcile our wealth and the faith? If Jesus tells us not to take concern for tomorrow, why do we save up in IRA’s and 401(K)’s? Overall, “How To Be Rich” is a good book written by a great Pastor who is helping his congregation, and others across the nation, be more grateful because of what they have, and share it with others who are in need. less
