There is a tremendous amount of needed and otherwise useful information in this book. After reading through this book, Church accounting makes so much more sense now.

Well written, easy to follow for the non bean counters among us October 7, 2015

I am a congregational president who REALLY needed an instructional book that could give me 1) an overview 2) as well as some pointers and how to do X. This book was perfect. It is practical, to the point, and doesn't waste you time with detail after detail so that you cannot find the forest for the trees. There is a clear path.
This book is ideal for 1) the small or startup church or 2) the church that has been around for 50+ years and has picked up a bunch of bad habits. I will leave you to guess which is true in our case.
