The Money and Faith Study Circle Handbook is designed to be used by small groups. It succeeds as such. Combining Scripture, contemporary and classic writings, statistics, and writings on many areas relating to the understanding and use of money from a spiritual perspective, this handbook is a curriculum that stimulates thought and conversation. It is not a personal finance guide, but serves more as a book to help persons connect their understanding of money with the living of their faith.

This handbook/curriculum is divided into nine session studies that explore issues such as personal perspectives on money, a money autobiography, generosity, God’s intentions, and justice.

I found the material personally helpful, broadening and challenging. The readings represent a wide perspective including the writings of those from the third world. Both group and individual activities create serious thought about serious matters of faith and life.
