5.0 out of 5 stars Money Sex and PowerReviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on 17 January 2013

This book was written to show how Money Sex and Power affect all of us. It is written from a Christian perspective and has very intriguing ideas and interesting thoughts about how we are all affected by these seductive elements in our lives. This book points out the dangers of these gifts from God, if they become out of balance in our lives, if too much importance is placed on them and it shows how each of these things can be very beneficial and beautiful if used properly. This book was very informative and well written. There is a lot of good information here and I plan on reading this book again, and again because it is hard to absorb and utilize all these great ideas in one sitting. This will be a well used reference book on my bookself!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Challenge to DisciplineReviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on 1 October 2012
Verified Purchase
Money, sex and power are profound issues which touch everyone. They storm into the lead in the thinking, experience and practice of us all. The book shows clearly that all three, in very basic ways, have power to curse or to bless.
Written in a spirit of worship, the book has a very positive view on the possibility of a disciplined life without losing any of the benefits of these gifts directly from heaven.
In a deep perusal of these three necessities of life the author has shown what is genuinely important for us to protect and encourage and what is of little consequence to discard. He challenges the reader to consider them separately yet integral parts of each other and how they personally motivate us.

5.0 out of 5 stars Foster nailed itReviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on 3 November 2015

Richard Foster delivered a manual for the undisciplined that is unrivaled. All three sections (Money, Sex, and Power) have tremendous advice for how to live a more disciplined life. Through citing such theologians as CS Lewis and Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Foster gains my academic trust. Foster remains objective and tries to take his lessons straight from the Bible. I highly recommend reading this book. A short read that is well worth your time.

Published in 1985, Foster takes what today would be an anti-LGBT view of love. It would be interesting to see what he would have to say today.
