Summary:

This curriculum is designed for church leadership but is also applicable to faith-based leaders of grass-roots organizations who are ministering to low-income adults.  It is valuable for its financial management content, as well as for its biblical basis and practical use. The curriculum covers such topics as debt, giving, saving, investing, and spending. 

Helpful anecdotes and relevant statistics are consistently displayed alongside the lesson plans, which include suggested discussion questions and group interaction activities.  This resource also succeeds in translating complicated concepts and vocabulary into a basic comprehension level. Faith and Finances also includes helpful supplementary materials such as an appendix offering suggestions for working with participants who cannot read.  

Why does FASTEN recommend this resource?

Faith & Finances is not only recognized within the faith-based social services field, but it is also acclaimed by the government (recipient of U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development “Best Practices 2000” Award) for its success in producing positive results and using creative problem solving.  This resource is a necessary tool for addressing issues of financial management and personal growth to low-income populations.
