What would happen if your families were able to focus on establishing a legacy not only for themselves and their children, but for future generations and even the world? That is one of the many question Dave Ramsey threw at you when you read his book (The Legacy Journey). Imagine a world of no scams because everyone is too smart to get into their traps. Think about retirees that got sufficient money till the end of his life. Crazy kids who are giving generously beyond what they can for the needy. I wish this can happen soon. The book has a lot of biblical concepts so you will surely enjoy this since it speaks the truth in love.

Let me share some of the meaningful information that we will get from the book.
1. There are more than 2,000 Scriptures on money and stewardship, yet many people are frustrated when it comes to their finances because they haven’t learned and applied them.
2. The Employee Benefit Research Institute found that 70% of workers say they are not where they need to be with retirement savings.
3. Culture would lead us to believe wealth is either inherently evil or that acquiring as much wealth as possible is the ultimate goal, neither of which is based in Scripture.
4. According to studies performed by Empty Tomb, church giving has not exceeded 3% as a portion of income in 40 years.
5. In a culture motivated by bigger and better, we often don’t prioritize developing a heart of generosity.
6. 78% of Americans today die without a valid will.
