Who Is Whole Heart Finances For?
Whole Heart Finances will show you that your finances can be an opportunity for deep, responsive worship as you consider the abundant generosity of Jesus in your life. Whether you’ve just opened your first checking account or are in retirement, it’s never too early or too late to get on the right track with money. Perhaps you consider money and faith to be separate, the two only crossing paths when/if you tithe. We all have blind spots with our finances—whether it’s debt, not spending, or overspending—and it’s never too late to course-correct.

How Do I Use Whole Heart Finances?
What if you could live your life with a generous mindset, peace about your budget and goals, and confidence about financial habits?
Do you find yourself exhausted and stressed from out-of-control spending, growing debt, or the constant need to manage your finances? You’re not alone. Americans consistently list money as their number one source of anxiety. Dr. Shane Enete offers a refreshing approach to financial management and guides you through:

• Practical tools to tackle debt, build financial resilience, and spend with your whole heart
• 3 keys to Christian stewardship and a quiz to uncover your “money personality” (value seeker, big spender, non-spender, or experiencer)
• 8 “giving systems” to make your generosity more effective (and exciting!)
• And much more!

Whether you read this book alone, with your small group, on a weekly basis, daily for a month, or once every year, Whole Heart Finances will help you meet important goals for saving, knocking out debt, and generosity that can happen if you take action with these easy practical steps.
