No, Money, Possessions and Eternity still has a very distinctive place by giving a fuller treatment of all the things that are dealt with briefly in Managing God's Money. Most of Money, Possessions and Eternity is not in the smaller book, though most of the issues in it are touched on in Managing God’s Money. Managing God’s Money is a much smaller book, but still covers the whole gamut of stewardship issues.
10% is not some lofty goal, just a starting place, but starting is important.
Randy Alcorn talking about being God's money managers at the Seed Company Invitational 2007.
Freewill offerings were commonplace in the Old Testament era. The three tithes were never the ceiling of giving, merely the floor. And Malachi 3 speaks of robbing God by withholding tithes AND offerings. This means that even prior to the New Testament people with substantial assets were considered to be robbing God not only by withholding TITHES but OFFERINGS (freewill).
Managing God’s Money is for those who want a complete treatment of biblical stewardship, but at one fourth the size of Money, Possessions and Eternity. While The Treasure Principle focuses on giving, Managing God’s Money includes giving, but also includes God’s ownership, lifestyles, debt, spending, saving, insurance, retirement, gambling and teaching our children how to be good money managers.
