Books with a purpose beyond the page
Riggs Publishing exists to put lessons into print: lessons shaped by faith, by hard experience, by redemption and service, by money handled well and money handled badly, and by the long work of becoming someone different.
The books here are written for people in the middle of something: rebuilding, grieving, starting over, trying to get it right this time. They are practical where they can be and honest where that matters more.

Financial Freedom by God's Design
Not the Church's Version
Financial Freedom by God's Design is a faith-centered guide to rebuilding life, wisely stewarding money, and using financial freedom as a tool for Kingdom purpose. This biblical guide to money, wealth, and building generational legacy explores the true meaning of ministry, the purpose of work, and the responsibility that comes with financial increase.
Readers will learn why compassion must be joined with structure, why generosity must be supported by stewardship, and why financial freedom is not freedom from responsibility, but freedom for responsibility. The book offers practical insights into building sustainable ministry models, especially in transitional, recovery, and sober-living housing.
