Resumen del Editor

Many pastors conceive of the church budget as primarily a financial tool, but in fact it is primarily a pastoral tool. A church's philosophy of ministry is locked into its budget, and so the budget will either stifle or accelerate any attempts to move a congregation toward a biblical model of church health. As such, the church budget is a far more potent pastoral tool than many church leaders realize. Budgeting for a Healthy Church examines each section of the budget in light of Biblical principles to show how a church budget can lock in healthy approaches to ministry. Whereas most books on church budgeting are "how" books, explaining how the budgeting process should work, this is a "what" book, helping church leaders determine the pastoral implications of what they choose to fund in their budgets.

Educational without using inaccessible lingo

As an accounting professional looking to work with my church Elders on building a budget, I really appreciate how accessible the language in the book was without losing the robustness needed for this topic. I can take this to a group who don't have training in Accounting and budgets and they will be able to follow the Biblical principles and financial principles easily. Thank you for the effort put in to writing this book and presenting it in a way that anyone in the church body can utilize the information in it to glorify God.
