Gods wealth : Whose Money is it Anyway? 
by Neil Hood; published by Authentic; £8.99 1-85078-567-8 A practical and well-researched look at the subject of money and who owns it. Money plays a vital role in all our lives - whether we have much or little; whether we love it or view it biblically. Neil Hood delves into this key subject, looking at people's current view on money, their understanding of it in terms of ownership and attitudes towards materialism. The book combines biblical teaching and practical case studies to explore the subject of money and who actually owns it!
