What I Like About This Book
When I picked up Budgeting for a Healthy Church: Aligning Finances with Biblical Priorities for Ministry (9Marks) (paid link), I was expecting a dry, number-crunching manual. Boy, was I wrong! J. P. Dunlop has managed to turn what could be a snooze-fest into an engaging, practical guide that’s both insightful and entertaining. The author’s knack for blending financial wisdom with biblical principles is nothing short of genius. It’s like getting a financial advisor and a spiritual mentor in one package.
The real kicker is how relatable and down-to-earth Dunlop’s writing is. He doesn’t just throw jargon at you; he breaks down complex financial concepts into bite-sized, digestible pieces. Plus, the real-life examples and anecdotes make the book feel more like a conversation with a wise friend than a lecture. Whether you’re a seasoned church leader or a newbie, this book offers valuable insights that are easy to implement. Trust me, you’ll walk away feeling empowered and ready to align your church’s finances with its mission.
