What Readers Say About Managing God's Money books:
"God has gifted Michel with an in-depth understanding of personal finance and given him an exceptional ability to communicate financial
principles to others. In fact, Managing God's Money-The Basics is one of the most balanced and practical resources on this topic I have ever
seen" --- Dr. Darrel Reid, former president of Focus on the Family, Canada, writing in the October 2001 magazine, Focus on the Family with Dr.
James Dobson.
"We have been following many of the practices you mention [in the New Managing God's Money-The Basics] for quite a time now, but it was really
neat to see someone outline things so clearly. Getting one's head around the idea that 'all is God's and that we are merely stewards' is
definitely a major 're-think'. And it is fundamental--everything becomes so different. Sure leads one to be thankful, though!"--- Judy, Ottawa
"Michel, I just wanted to let you know I am really enjoying your Internet site. I am also completely free from credit card debt finally (with a
little help from your book [Managing God's Money-The Basics], actually a lot of help from your book and from God). I still have a lot of other
areas I have to work on. One day at a time." --- Khajak, Montreal
"I found your book [Managing God's Money-The Basics] in someone's cabinet here at the station, and I read it. It has totally changed my family's
spending habits and financial stability. Here's how: I have put into practice most, if not all, of the things you propose in the book. Your PEACE
budget worksheet is a staple of my life. I enlarged the sheet, and made lots of copies. It is my monthly staple now. I don't spend a dime without
consulting the budget. Because of you and your ministry, we are aggressively paying bills, getting out of debt, and sowing more into God's
Kingdom. Thank you Brother Bell, In Christ." --- Jeremy, Buffalo
Managing God's Time - ISBN: 1-57921-726-5 & 978-1579217266 (Suggested Retail Price $13)
Over his 32-years business career, 16 as a non Christian and 16 as a born again Christian, Michel Bell climbed the corporate ladder rapidly, and gathered increasing responsibility. In the early years he had two ulcers, neglected his family, and was stressed continually. Gradually, to cope with the continual pressure, to protect his health, and to spend quantity time with his family, he developed the system of personal effectiveness that's the topic of this book.
How did he get there?
With the new lifestyle, he travelled over a million miles across the Atlantic and Pacific, worked in over 25 countries, yet never missed a flight, was not late for meetings, but juggled conflicting priorites, and basked in the positive stress, joyfully.
Read about the process, and challenges he overcame to develop this lifestyle of personal effectiveness that allowed him to cope with the inevitable, daily conflicting demands. Start using the tips, tools, techniques, processes, adjustments Michel used to hold effective meetings, handle conflicting priorities, negotiated significant contracts, and much more. When he chose to retire at age 55 to pursue the ministry to which God called Him, Managing God's Money, his corporate successes led to this release from his only employer, former Alcan Inc.:
During his fruitful career, he has held various positions in the finance, legal, and business planning sectors, and has lived in Montreal, Vancouver, and Tokyo.
Michel will leave behind a successful track record in planning, strategy, and business development. He has been one of the most significant contributors to the strategic position our group [Bauxite, Alumina, and Specialty Chemicals] enjoys today. Perhaps his greatest legacy will be his value mindset, which has inspired his Alcan colleagues
As you read and reflect, experience God's grace, mercy, and peace as you begin tending to the important things in life rather than just reacting to the urgent---all for His glory!
