Anthony Amaradio is the co-author of Faithful with Much. He wrote it with his loving wife of so many years, Carin. They focus on one of the famous teachings in the bible: the widow in the book of Luke who gave the only two coins that she had. It may not amount to too much, but those two coins were already everything to her. And God is pleased because this teaches us the principle of true generosity. It’s not just by giving what you have extra, but giving your all. This story can be found in the bible, in the book of Luke.

In their book, Carin and Anthony Amaradio tells us that our Creator owns everything we have– our house, our car, our material possessions. And this ownership does not only encompass tangible things, but also the things that we cannot touch, like our intelligence and our talent. We owe it all to God. The authors share their touching story from plainly looking for wealth to discerning God’s plan about possessions and money. Drafting from their huge experience in the industry of financial services and the wisdom they obtained from some tough life challenges, Tony and Carin provide not only practical, but also biblical advice about how to think of the obstacles of how to properly handle our wealth. And the most important lesson– how to let it go.

In someone’s Christian life experience, he or she is taught that offering must be done because of obedience; we should do it because the Bible says we should. While others may offer out of responsibility, there are those who go beyond that notion of being obedient and being responsible members of the church. There are those who offer to experience a deep sense of happiness. Very rarely do people act on a level of true sacrifice when it comes to giving and offering. This book by Carin and Anthony Amaradio is a push to do what they do– genuine giving. Faithful with Much tells us how to be smart stewards of the money and material things that God gave us. Most importantly, it’s a book that speaks of radical trust.
