I know what you're thinking: "Another book on money!" And you're right, this is another book on money, but it's probably not quite from the angle that you're thinking. Money Matters (to God) is a book about seeing finances through the eyes of God instead of the eyes of society. Through this book, we will walk through the scripture to see what the Bible actually has to say about money and how we should use it. You may be surprised to see what's there. Money is an important topic to God. You can clearly see that through the Old and New Testaments. Jesus talked more about money than He did about heaven or hell. Money is important to God simply because it's important to us. Sometimes too important. My prayer is that, through this book, you will be able to shed the burden of financial stress through priority and perspective.

This is Ben Scott's first and only book. At the age of seventy, Scott felt a calling to write this book about how God guided him and his wife along the path of giving/tithing. He talks about how this ultimately led them to an incredible journey to Nicaragua that motivated them to build villages in Haiti. This inspiring book also references many Bible verses that had formed them to their new way of life of giving/tithing. Scott says that God inspired him to write the giving book so to inspire others. He uses many verses from scripture to make his case. The Scott's have been raising money to build villages in Haiti for more than twelve years and talks about their Haiti experiences in the book.
