Are riches and wealth a sign of God's blessing? Or are they the trappings of this world? Does ones financial status mirror their spirituality? Should all wealth be shunned? And what about the name it and claim it gospel?
These and many more questions are addressed in Kris Vallotton's new book, Poverty, Riches, and Wealth. Vallotton asserts that how we look at money dictates our current, and future, wealth. And we're not just talking finances, but true kingdom wealth as defined by money, healthy outlooks on life, and legacy, to name a few.
While poverty and riches tear at us from different sides of the spectrum, true wealth is found somewhere in the middle. Although Vallotton doesn't defend a "name it and claim it" gospel, he does believe that the Lord cares for our finances, as he cares for every other detail of our lives. But wealth goes beyond money into the territory of engrained mindsets and recognizing the Lord's work in our day to day lives.
Is Proverty, Riches, and Wealth a challenging read? Did it force me to confront some difficult areas of my life? Yes. But not all things that challenge are bad. In fact, I found that the most difficult chapters forced me to examine my beliefs in ways that I needed to grow. Is this book worth your time and money? Absolutely. But only if you're ready to read with any open mind. This book will push you to honestly confront your poverty mindsets and will be transformational if your ready for change.
