Ownership

The silver and gold that humankind have toiled and schemed and erected strongholds and enslaving untruths for, belong to God.  Ownership suggests it  responds to the will of the owner and is increased or reduced based on His intentions and principles…    

Stewardship

 This suggests that wealth will go where it is best utilised for the purpose of the owner. Employment of wealth against the ethics and rules of God who demands an account also attracts punitive consequences…   

Eternal Perspective

 This compels us to review time-based measures and think in terms of journeys, cycles and processes.  There are phases of discipline from which we learn key lessons required to prosper.  Success is aligning with God’s perspective and often requires acquisition of vast sums to finance major moves of God but may also demand a wilderness experience to purge our values…   

Conditions and Consequences

 Especially when negative are indicators that there is a great and mighty regulator – God, and putting Him aside attracts unpleasant outcomes that should cause the discerning to rethink, repent and return to Him.  Consequences are meant to teach vital disciplines yet to be learnt…   

The Ways of God

 When we surrender our lives to Jesus we know we need a renewal of our minds and become again as a child.  This is more especially so in how we see money and how we manage it. …Lifestyle Creep suggests we are in an era of intensive lifestyle marketing and the unheeding finds himself squandering the substance that is holy and belongs to God….  while War on Debt provides insights on how to battle the burdensome monster called Debt… The Benefits in Crisis concludes that crises are not just positive but can be necessary to eventuate the critical turning points needed for God’s will to be done in our lives, homes and even nations…and more.

Copies are also available at  Amazon.com, Barnes and Nobles  Bookstores and major Book sites.   Read reviews below.

“…the writer brings fresh Bible understanding to the concept of God’s Wealth; The truth is obviously uncovered and with the elements of Scripture, language and imagery the writer has equipped the reader with the right information to allow a critical analysis of the issues raised so that cautious and conscious steps can be taken before making that decision that will draw God’s WEALTH out of the ashes of our time…”     

“A Holy Spirit inspired book which I sincerely recommend to all who would like to walk through the strait gate on the narrow way which leads unto life, and which only few there be that find it…” Shelfari Readers   

“I picked up “Wealth out of Ashes” and was not able to put it down until I finished it. The book challenged my beliefs about contemporary Bible teachings on Wealth…”   

“Wealth Out of Ashes” is hard for me to describe, and hard to review. Sometimes the writer’s style seemed a bit stiff to me – yet, there were parts of the book that really made me sit up and take notice. Throughout, the book encouraged me to think about my true priorities.  I happened to read “Wealth” while I was participating in a group study of Dave Ramsey’s “Total Money Makeover”. Dave’s book focuses more on every day practicalities with only a few references to scripture (although I’m told a theologian could find scripture to back up Dave’s assertions). Bode’s book focuses more on the biblical passages that deal with issues of prosperity and God’s provision. As such, I was glad to have read it during my other study. I know a lot of people think that the Bible has no relevance for today. However, I have personally found it to be entirely relevant in my own life. And the basic principles of prosperity, peace, love, service, and all the rest have been timeless and true – at least in the 50 years of my own experience. Yeah, the financial situation has become more complex, but a lot of that (think lifestyle creep) we bring upon ourselves. If you don’t believe the Bible has anything relevant to say, you won’t like this book. On the other hand, if you do think the Bible is relevant and you’re interested in what it has to say about finances and prosperity and the impact that should have on how we live, then I recommend this book to you. “ Reader Reviews…more (Goodreads Reviews).
