Using personal and Biblical stories and verses, Meditations for Financial Freedom (Vol. 3) is the third installment of a twelve-part series aimed at helping people who are attempting to attain and maintain financial freedom.
This book offers daily meditations that inform and inspire - make you laugh and make you cry - with reflections that walk through the books of The Bible and highlight concepts that address financial issues including saving, investing, retirement, employment, entrepreneurship and a myriad of subjects relevant to personal finance.
Each day's meditation offers the reader an opportunity to consider one financial challenge and encounter a brief thought or prayer related to each idea. Use this book for 7 minutes a day for reflection and financial guidance from a Biblical context.
Meditations... can be used by those who practice daily devotion, and anyone desiring to deepen their spiritual life.
