Books by Gene Getz

Our relationship to our possessions: few topics are timelier for today's blessed Christiansor more neglected.Author Gene Getz tells readers that the Bible says more about the things we own than any other subject except the Godhead. His thorough exploration of biblical history reveals overarching "e;supraprinciples"e; of ownership that apply to all people everywhere, then and now. Getz shows how Christians can resist the deadly tendency towards selfishness inherent in today's culture and how to use their possessions as effective tools for witness and spiritual growth. Avoiding both the extreme of "e;selling all and giving to the poor"e; and the greed-centered "e;prosperity gospel,"e; he explains the biblical attitude toward possessions: a releasing of "e;this is mine"e; view of our possessions and allowing God's gifts to flow through our hands to meet human needs, demonstrating His love to an unbelieving world.
