"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."

"As a communicator, I'm always on the lookout for resources that speak
clearly and knowledgeably to the point at hand. My long-time friend Austin Pryor does exactly that in his financial newsletter and The Sound Mind
Investing Handbook. They are thorough, easy-to-understand, and grounded in 30 years of successful investing experience. Both are valuable sources of
practical guidance for anyone who wants their financial decisions to line up with biblical principles. Austin and Sound Mind Investing get my highest
recommendation."

"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!"

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."

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."

"Here's my checklist for what makes a great financial resource — consistent with God's word, an easy-to-understand writing style, practical lessons that are relevant to my situation, and specific advice on investing for retirement. Fortunately, Austin Pryor has covered all these bases with his Sound Mind Investing Handbook and monthly financial newsletter. I heartily recommend Austin's counsel to anyone who is ready to take control of their finances and manage them according to God's protective principles. Not only has his monthly material caused my 401k to grow but, more importantly, Austin has taught me so many scriptural stewardship lessons that I'd overlooked before."

"Austin has been a member of our church and a personal friend of mine for two decades. 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."

"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."

"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."

"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.'"

"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."
