David Green believes that generosity and building a legacy based on giving can lead to getting back what you really want: a family that stays together, prays together, and shares life joyfully. Green tells the story of caring for the small things and starting Hobby Lobby in their garage. He shares the difference between the worlds of "having and hoarding" and a world of "giving and generosity," the principle of working for God and not for men, and that now is not too soon to consider what you want your legacy to be. As proof of how living by those principles can change your life, Green shares that when Hobby Lobby came close to bankruptcy in 1986 and when the Supreme Court challenged the Hobby Lobby's right to life beliefs in 2014, the company emerged with its integrity intact. Green sees the life of giving as a life of adventure. But it's a life that pays the best rewards personally, offers a powerful legacy to your family, and changes those you touch.

That said, the book is less than 200 pages, so I thought it would be a quick and easy read; yet I struggled through this. It's repetitive, dry, and a bit unfocused. I couldn't figure out if Green was trying to write a how-to manual on wealth management for Christians, or if he was writing Hobby Lobby's memoirs.
I was also turned off by the fact that every "good" decision Green shares is one made by himself or his family; any examples of poor decisions were his observations of other individuals not blessed with his same wisdom.
I think this could be edited quite a bit more (hopefully it will be, as I'm reading an ARC), to the point where it could easily be reduced to 100 pages or so.
I would also suggest that Christians interested in learning how to manage their money biblically read Randy Alcorn's [b:Money, Possessions and Eternity|67084|Money, Possessions and Eternity|Randy Alcorn|http://images.gr-assets.com/books/1406506966s/67084.jpg|65050] or his shorter book [b:The Treasure Principle: Unlocking the Secret of Joyful Giving|34600|The Treasure Principle Unlocking the Secret of Joyful Giving|Randy Alcorn|http://images.gr-assets.com/books/1437457959s/34600.jpg|34571].
I received this book from the publisher via NetGalley. (
