Review Quotes:
"Cos, I read through your manuscript and it was like sitting at the feet of a wise grandparent who has lived a faithful life. You remind us that life is an entrustment, not an entitlement. Making the best use of the time, talent, and treasure that God has entrusted to us will pay dividends both now and for all eternity, and you are a good example of that. Your marriage, family, and career are exemplary, because your life purpose is to honor Christ and your family through your personal and professional relationships. People who read this book will receive sage advice about investing in what matters most in life because that is what this book offers." Dr. Neil T. Anderson, Founder and President Emeritus of Freedom in Christ Ministries
The book, Heaven's Currency, takes a unique approach to explaining the nature of "currency" and investment in the material sense and the spiritual sense. I don't think I've ever read anything on the topic the way the author approaches the subject. In the book, Cos Davis defines, explains and illustrates the two worlds of investing one's currency in both the material world we live in, and eternal currency in the life that will surely come after this one has passed away. What we experience in the next life is critically dependent upon what we do with our currency in this life. Want to become a "wealthy" investor? Read this book.
It is interesting to me the way Dr. Davis explains that the act of loving is a form of currency, as is discipline and character. But what is character? It is Love in action, and is "Heaven's greatest treasure".
With stories and numerous references to scriptures and other authors, Dr. Davis builds the case for these character-building concepts, chapter by chapter.
This solidly researched writing reflects a lifetime of experience in Dr. Davis's personal and professional life. The reading is easy enough, but the topics are challenging; fact, they will be profoundly life-changing when put into practice. In a world of relativism, this book presents some absolutes, something the modern world rejects! Almost every sentence has something weighty to ponder. Read the words deliberately and take your time; you will take in so much more if you do.
