God and Money: How We Discovered True Riches at Harvard Business School

John Cortines and Gregory Baumer met as Harvard MBA candidates in a men's Bible study and began reconsidering their approach to money. Rather than asking "How much should I give?" they shifted to asking "How much do I need to keep?" Despite their education and rising careers offering financial security, they found their plans for saving and spending challenged by what they understood as God's call to generosity, leading each to make significant life decisions. The book explains how to give generously while managing finances responsibly. It provides practical tools for budgeting, stewarding money, and preparing for future needs like home ownership, retirement, and education. Drawing on Old Testament and New Testament passages, modern case studies, and biblical parables including the Rich Young Ruler and the Widow's Mite, the book addresses tithing, wealth, stewardship, faith, and generosity. Topics covered include what the Bible says about money and tithing, discerning when to give and when not to give, and applying biblical principles to various financial situations. The authors argue that how people manage money is critical to their relationship with God. 100% of author royalties go toward Christian ministries focused on spreading the Gospel and providing for those in need.
