My Lord's Money: Or, the Consecration of Talents (Annotated) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781611047899)

First published in 1889, "My Lord's Money" by Ernest Boys offers deep insights for Christians to ponder. In this powerful book, Pastor Boys delves into the topic of talents much more deeply than many have done. Money is only one of the talents discussed in this impactful, life-changing book. Time, musical ability, education, age, social standing, and even the gift of life itself are all fully explored. Pastor Boys also presents sickness--as well as health--as a talent to be used for God. While stating that health is the greater talent, Boys points out that sickness offers unique opportunities for faithfulness and witness. His treatment of the different stages of life as unique talents, from childhood to youth to young adulthood, right through to middle age and senior citizenship, is nothing short of inspiring. For a fresh look and some deep thinking on God's calling and how not to "lay up our talents in a napkin" as the man with the one talent did in the Bible parable, this book is a wonderful read.
