Money is often viewed through a practical lens—budgeting, investing, saving, and spending. A Christian perspective takes the conversation deeper by integrating the need for character development into financial stewardship.
At the core of this character-building process are the 7 virtues: prudence, justice, temperance, courage, faith, hope, and love. These virtues speak directly to how we manage money, revealing that financial decisions are not just economic—they are profoundly spiritual and moral choices that reflect our relationship with God and others.
his book will equip you with practical tools and exercises to help you implement these virtues in your daily life. Each chapter will include reflective prompts and actionable steps, enabling you to apply the virtues in real-world scenarios. By engaging in this reflective practice, you’ll not only develop your character but also lay the groundwork for a more stable and enriching financial future. You’ll feel equipped and prepared to take on the challenges of financial management.
