Respected Financial Teachers and Christian Leaders

Two questions usually dominate as a Christian investor evaluates investment advisors. "Do they know what they're talking about?" And just as importantly, "Do I trust them?" As you ask these questions about us, take a look at what these respected leaders have to say about Christian investing author Austin Pryor and Sound Mind Investing.

 
"I have known Austin Pryor for over 30 years now, and I regard him as a good friend. I have found his counsel to be both biblical and practical. I know of no other individual with whom I would consult with more confidence on the subject of mutual fund investing than Austin. If you will spend the time to read carefully the counsel Austin provides, you will find it both time and money well spent."
Larry Burkett (1939-2003)
Co-Founder / Crown Financial Ministries

 
"Sound Mind Investing is the "Consumer Reports" for the Christian investor. They accept no ads, so it's unbiased. They simplify the complex, so it's easy-to-understand. They review thousands of mutual funds and financial products, so it's comprehensive. Their long-term investment track record is impressive. And best of all, it's biblically-based, equipping readers to "have more so they can give more." Sound Mind Investing is helping Christians build eternal portfolios."
Howard Dayton
Co-Founder / Crown Financial Ministries

 
"I have had the privilege of knowing Austin Pryor since the beginning of my Christian life. There are few that I have as much respect for and confidence in than Austin. His counsel in the investment area has proven to be extraordinarily wise and discerning over a long time period. I can recommend this book without hesitation as a 'must read' for anyone interested in investing in very uncertain economic times. I consider it a privilege to be able to make this recommendation."
Ron Blue
Founding Partner of Ronald Blue & Co.

 
"When I wrote The Glorious Journey I had to include a quote by Austin Pryor in my book. Here is a man of great insight who has the ability to make difficult subjects easy to comprehend. It is obvious that Sound Mind Investing combines Biblical wisdom with very practical and understandable application. Anyone would profit from reading this book."
Dr. Charles F. Stanley
Senior Pastor / First Baptist Church of Atlanta

 
"Sound Mind Investing gives important steps to help you prepare before you invest. You'll learn how to set priorities, avoid risk, and develop reasonable long-term financial goals. It will tell you everything you need to know to make wise financial choices for your family. And Austin does it without getting bogged down in complex financial terms that might make things confusing for lay people like you and me. This is a vital tool that you'll want to refer to again and again as you make your financial decisions."
Beverly LaHaye
Founder / Concerned Women of America

 
"Austin Pryor's book, Sound Mind Investing, is a masterpiece on the subject of Christian economics. It is clearly a comprehensive hand-book for any person seeking professional guidance in investments. As a minister, of course, I am especially appreciative of the godly orientation manifest throughout this important work, and of the powerful testimony presented in Section Six, 'Investing That Glorifies God.'"
D. James Kennedy, Ph.D. (1930-2007)
Senior Minister / Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church

 
"I have known Austin personally since 1973, and find him to be a man of integrity who is committed to serving our blessed Lord and Savior. His book is an outstanding compendium of helpful investment information. It is thorough, easy-to-understand and has a uniquely appealing style and readability. But most important, it incorporates Scriptural principles to help the reader be a better steward of God's resources."
Bill Bright (1921-2003)
Founder and President / Campus Crusade for Christ

 
"If you're looking for an attractive easy-to-follow investment guide written in plain English, look no further. Austin Pryor writes without vested interests in any specific plan or fund. This means greater candor and objectivity. I'm frankly skeptical of a lot of stuff coming out of the financial realm with its short-term 'for this life only' perspective. Austin is a man with a larger and better perspective. May every reader seek to make wise investments of money and time in God's kingdom, investments that will pay off not only in this life, but in the eternal life to come!"
Randy Alcorn
Director of Eternal Perspective Ministries
Author of Money, Possessions & Eternity

 
"I am a huge fan of Austin Pryor, author of The Sound Mind Investing Handbook and his monthly newsletter. In the same way that I am no economist, I'm not exactly an investment wizard either. Everything I know about investing I learned from Austin Pryor."
Mary Hunt
Founder and Editor / Debt-Proof Living

 
"I am grateful for Sound Mind Investing. Many of us have failed to be the stewards we ought, and most of us are too busy to give quality attention to these matters. That is why this book is so significant. May God bless it for the welfare of the saints."
Dr. Adrian Rogers (1931-2005)
Senior Pastor / Bellevue Baptist Church

 
"Austin has been a member of our church and a personal friend of mine for over a decade. He is a conscientious believer who "walks the talk" daily and leads his family to do the same. This book, like his monthly articles, contains practical financial counsel that will benefit everyone who reads it. The principles that Austin sets forth are balanced, Biblically based, and helpful to all who seek to be wise managers of the resources God has given."
Bob Russell
Former Senior Pastor / Southeast Christian Church
Louisville, Kentucky

 
"I have never outgrown the enjoyment of a book with lots of pictures. This book clearly explains what before was difficult to understand. A true expert knows his field well enough to explain it in simple terms yet with profound insights. Austin Pryor deciphers the bewildering jargon of the investment world for the first-time investor, yet also provides profound insight for the seasoned money manager. As a book that applies biblical principles to an area of great need, I highly recommend Sound Mind Investing."
Howard Hendricks
Chairman, Center for Christian Leadership
Distinguished Professor, Dallas Theological Seminary

 
"One of the main reasons I wrote Wake Up, Women! was to encourage the endless number of Christian women who seem to know little or nothing about finances. I included Austin's excellent book in my bibliography because it's an inviting, easy-to-understand, step-by-step primer for anyone who finds the subject difficult (if not terrifying). If you're in the process of 'waking up' in this area, I heartily recommend you pick up a copy of Sound Mind Investing."
Florence Littauer
Author and Speaker

 
"Austin Pryor's Sound Mind Investing does more than offer its readers easy-to-understand access to the intricacies of investing in today's world. The author is a Christian who obviously has a sincere desire to help other Christians gain the basic knowledge they need to protect themselves and help secure their future financial security."
Dr. Ron Nash (1936-2006)
Professor of Theology, Reformed Theological Seminary of Orlando
Author of Poverty and Wealth and The Closing of the American Heart

 
"I have known Austin Pryor personally for over three decades, and have found him to be not only a knowledgeable investment consultant, but a man with a deep relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. In this world, where distrust seems to prevail, it is very encouraging to know that in the Christian community there is a man with integrity that is backed up by years of professional experience. I 100% endorse Sound Mind Investing."
Bob George
President of People to People / Author of Classic Christianity
