About Building Wealth for Building the Kingdom

Building Wealth for Building the Kingdom is a simple, practical guide to help LDS families organize their personal financial plans to meet their unique goals. The book provides simple answers to questions like:

How much should I be saving each month for my son’s mission?
How much should I be saving each month for my children’s college education?
How can I save enough to be able to retire while I’m healthy enough to serve a mission?

Avoiding tips on pinching pennies, the book focuses on opportunities to save thousands or tens of thousands of dollars by making smart moves with big decisions, like home and car purchases.

Mormon families will appreciate the gospel-centered, scripture-based focus on putting tithing at the center of a financial plan. Building Wealth for Building the Kingdom will help prepare families to enjoy the benefits of their labor while simultaneously contributing to the growth of Church.

See What Reviewers Have to Say

Devin Thorpe’s book is a refreshing and practical guide to achieving financial goals – not just small goals, but the very big goals of having sufficient money for college educations, missions, and major life purchases. These ideas and models for living are far beyond the typical family budget and general lifestyle “how-to” resources–drawing on his experience as an investor and as CFO for major corporations. Devin’s book teaches readers how to achieve major savings — tens of thousands of dollars or more — by making smart decisions with the largest purchases of their lives, such as businesses, houses and cars. Devin’s book is written for LDS families, but would be fitting for any reader with a high priority on family values. I recommend it highly.
