2 Barry Cameron Barry Cameron ABC's of Freedom Contagious Generosity 6 Sessions This practical and highly motivating book provides help and encouragement to Christians desiring to practice responsible, God honoring, stewardship. Within the pages of this book you will discover the Biblical principles that will teach you how to get out from under the burden and bondage of debt and enable you to declare your own financial independence. 7 Sessions Generosity is contagious. God provides resources to be shared for the blessing of other people. He does not give it for us to keep. In this book you will find powerful truths concerning God's generosity and His desire for us to reflect that generosity. Bible Study: (Alphabetically) April 4, 2014 page 2

3 Crown Ministries Crown Biblical Study 10 Sessions The Biblical Study - 10 Week Edition teaches more than practical financial principles-it teaches the successful combination of God's wisdom along with practical principles. This teaching strategy treats more than the practical symptoms of financial bondage-it creates a long-term transformation of the heart. This is the most effective way to find biblically based answers to one's financial questions and difficulties. Crown's most recent church survey reveals that typical life group members increase their giving, reduce their debt, increase their savings, and strengthen their marriages during and after the life group experience. And, this is what each life group member will experience during the study - They will learn what Scripture teaches about managing all of their possessions-not just money. Due to the 10- week group setting, they will develop lifelong relationships with other Christians. Key Scripture verses will be memorized each week, and they will learn a biblical approach to creating a spending plan, establishing a debt reduction plan, and managing their resources through practical exercises and accountability. And more! Bible Study: (Alphabetically) April 4, 2014 page 3

4 John Ortberg Christian Witness & Living Giving 7 studies Available in Kindle format Jesus said more about money than just about any other topic. Clearly, it is an important issue--and a touchy one! Deep down, we know it is not a matter of what we earn but how we manage what we earn that shows our ultimate priorities. Giving demonstrates how good stewardship is more than a responsibility---it's an adventure. As you study the connection between your wallet and your heart, you'll learn how money management is a powerful tool for shaping your character. You'll discover how giving is as much a part of spiritual growth as prayer and Bible study. And you'll learn about the rewards of cultivating wise financial habits and a generous heart. Above all, you'll find out how a lifestyle of giving reflects the heart of God, who freely gives his best to you. Bible Study: (Alphabetically) April 4, 2014 page 4

5 Howard L., Jr. Dayton Your Money Counts: The Biblical Guide to Earning, Spending, Saving, Investing, Giving, and Getting Out of Debt 17 Sessions With the economy reeling in the wake of the recent recession, many people are experiencing such financial challenges as credit card debt, downsizing, dead-end jobs, and inadequate or depleted savings. With these challenges come others as well. Recent studies confirm that more than half of all divorces are the result of financial pressures at home. And spiritually, many people are struggling to maintain a biblical perspective amidst the constant tug of materialism. But there is hope. The Bible has a lot to say about money. In fact, the Bible is a veritable blueprint for managing your finances. In Your Money Counts, trusted financial expert Howard Dayton shows you how to manage your personal finances in a highly practical, biblicallybased way.
