Glad you enjoyed it! And thank you for your support in recommending it to others. I hope it helps a lot of Christians see God's will for their finances more clearly.<br />Be blessed!<br />Amie Streater<br />amiestreater.comAmiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09429670768701783730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2125325709844932289.post-8988721149493848122010-10-26T06:49:06.260-04:002010-10-26T06:49:06.260-04:00Mary : What happened to your grandfather was terri...<b>Mary</b> : What happened to your grandfather was terrible... and that must have made life tough for his family as well. Not only because they were deprived of the money, but because they had to watch it happen again, year after year.<br /><br />Streater has a chapter on enablers, and she mentions the difference between helping someone and keeping them stuck in a permanent cycle of dependence. Which isn't likely to help them grow as Christians either.<br /><br /><b>Tara</b> : Absolutely. That's a great way to sum it up - be generous, but also be wise.Marian Pererahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15700524210146863718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2125325709844932289.post-76394281439964450722010-10-25T13:57:26.640-04:002010-10-25T13:57:26.640-04:00I consider it an interesting topic -- how to be a ...I consider it an interesting topic -- how to be a generous, ethical person and still sensible about money. It's easy, for some reason to be both stingy and foolish, but hard to be the opposite.Tara Mayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09095632631554776002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2125325709844932289.post-69728358699432332052010-10-25T05:27:40.185-04:002010-10-25T05:27:40.185-04:00Now I feel so ashamed: because I took one look at ...Now I feel so ashamed: because I took one look at that title and snorted. <br /><br />My grandfather was very much like your parents, but he was defrauded out of just about every cent he made. Whenever he'd had a crop that didn't fail, his poor relatives would get wind of it and come begging, promising they'd seen the light and would be Christians again -- as long as he gave them his crop money. And he was like Charlie Brown being played by Lucy year after year -- he always gave his money to them, and he was always disappointed. He could have used this book. <br /><br />I may not read Streater's book, but I'll absolutely pass it along.Mary Witzlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06458299046574564155noreply@blogger.com
