In Touch, the teaching ministry of Dr. Charles Stanley.

Next on In Touch, your convictions about money. Well, you know, money is on most people's minds today.

Am I going to have enough to pay my bills as we?

Am I going to have enough to keep my kids in college?

Am I getting further behind on my payments? What am I going to do about all this debt?

this book all of those situations are true, then I think I

think I need to read it.

It just might be that it'll be able to help me. And the truth is, God's Bible, the word of God, is the best guide
