Money has a way of twisting us. It has a way of taking over and driving us crazy. If we don’t manage our money, it can manage us. If we don’t put parameters around our money, we can lose sleep and peace and it could damage our most important earthly relationships. In order to manage your money in a way that reflects Christ in us, whether this is at home or in our work life, we need to first know and understand the attitudes and actions in our life surrounding how we handle money. Second, we need to be knowing where our money is going. Rachel Cruze is back with another best selling book, Know Yourself, Know your money. She is going to pull all this together for us so that no matter where we are or what we are doing, our faith, our work and our money are all tied to Jesus in us.
Rachel Cruze grew up as the middle child of Dave Ramsey. Her father’s job was to talk about money, debt, and helping people to become debt free. He also talked about Jesus in their home. Rachel shares on the air and in her new book, Know Yourself, Know your Money about the impact our upbringing has on how we handle money.
It was quite a shock to Rachel when she discovered that not everyone looks at money the say way she does. In fact, she could see that there were some distinct differences in how households talked and handled money and how this directly impacts our response to money. 80% of what we do is from observation, and only 20% is from head knowledge. Imagine if we all took the time to know ourselves and how it relates to handling our money.
Throughout her new book, Know Yourself, Know your Money – Rachel Cruze shares insights and helpful direction to a healthier perspective. Winston and Rachel have been married for 11 years and are exact opposites for their money tendencies. As each couple struggles with merging finances and having financial harmony, Rachels’ book is a great help to a successful, healthy approach. Imagine how healthy the next generation could be if their homes do a better job dealing with money in a secure environment. We are giving away a copy of her book on our listener line: 866-713-9675
