The Worst Financial Mistakes in the Bible

Chuck & Ann Bentley

A “What Not to Do” Guide for your finances from a Biblical perspective! The Bible is full of epic heroes who accomplished great things through faith and obedience. We learn from these godly examples, but we can also gain wisdom from the mistakes of those who failed. This is especially true in the area of finances, as God’s Word tells us story after story of what not to do with our money and resources. Experience new lessons from familiar stories through a fresh take on Biblical financial teaching.
