OK, I think everyone should go out and BUY this book, Master Your Money by Ron Blue with Michael Blue. Every household needs one, and make sure every one, ages 16+ reads this. Why? Because this not only give you tips on managing your finances, it provides a reason and understanding in a Biblical context. With that said, I believe kids should be taught about finances from an early age. Though Master Your Money really wouldn't be understandable to young kids, I still think the concept should be shared early on, and young teens especially should learn the value of saving and the problem debt creates.

When it comes to finances, it's a sore or sensitive topic, not only amongst friends, but also family members. When it comes to figuring out how to master ones' money, everyone has their own opinion or a lack of financial planning. Ron Blue shares personal stories, while giving readers insights on attaining financial freedom in the current and eternal sense.  The first edition was written 30+ years ago, and with this latest edition, with his son, Michael Blue, we are given a glimpse of how this book and its ideas have impacted them as individuals and as a family.  You can read Master Your Money easily as Ron's down-to-earth voice shines through, like an old friend. And like a conversation with an old friend, some hard truths will reveal itself. But no worries there, as Ron provided practical solutions and informative charts and organizational methods to help you through. And ultimately the most practical way he divulges to his readers is to " 'Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.' Proverbs 3:5-6" (73)

In 1970, Ron founded an Indianapolis-based CPA firm that has grown to be one of the 50 largest CPA firms in the United States.

Since 1979, Ron has held a passion to help Christians plan and manage their finances in order to maximize their giving to Kingdom purposes. God has allowed him to work this out in several ways. Dr. Howard Hendricks influenced him to begin what later became a financial planning firm. He has written several books on this topic, and in 2003 he helped to found a ministry training Christian financial advisors to integrate God’s financial wisdom in their advice and counsel.

In 2012, Indiana Wesleyan University established The Ron Blue Institute, which is dedicated to multiplying the over 40 years of professional experience and intellectual property of Ron through curriculum development and other products in multiple outlets worldwide.
