The Debt-Free Church: Experiencing Financial Freedom While Growing Your Ministry

Rating:
Summary: A Must for Pastors, Elders, Deacons, and Bldg Committees
Review: A great resource to prayerfully read through when your church is considering whether to borrow or not. The authors address common rationales for borrowing and address each one scripturally and pragmatically. Our western culture embraces financing for everything. This book will challenge our cultural default position of getting loans for church buildings and activities.

Bottomlines: (1) Borrowing is not a sin, but it is risky, (2) the Bible only warns AGAINST borrowing and debt, never advocates it, and (3) God gets all the glory when we trust Him to provide in His time.

Summary: Must Read For Churches Considering Debt
Review: This book does a marvelous job of laying out the Biblical cautions toward debt and encourages ministries to trust God for ALL their needs. All this without coming off as condescending to those ministries that have already chosen to use debt.

You can tell the authors desire to help ministries seek God's will.

Very well written!
