How do you make the most of what God has given you?
God’s Will in Your Wallet is for everyone who longs to hear, “Well done, good and faithful servant,” with how you use your worldly wealth, whether great or small. This takes wisdom—character and competence in action.
This Bible study for small groups and individual readers is based on 10 truths Jesus taught about wealth, introduced by John Thornton, in Jesus’ Terrible Financial Advice (Moody Publishers 2017). These truths go beyond what John, a CPA with a PhD in accounting, has taught to college students across leading universities for 30 years. Truths to prosper, profit and protect you, so that you can complete the good work God has prepared in advance for you to do. All for His glory.
Only Jesus teaches you how to use what you can’t keep to gain what you can’t lose. Listen to his perfect financial advice, and spur each other on to reject complacency and start or continue doing what he has called you to do.
Does money own you?

In Jesus' Terrible Financial Advice: Flipping the Tables on Peace, Prosperity, and the Pursuit of Happiness, author John Thornton, a CPA with a PhD in accounting, unveils 10 financial truths from Jesus you will never learn in business school. And what appears terrible from a world’s perspective turns to terrific when we do what he says.
