The Dynamics of Church Finance is a quick but solid introduction. The book is light on theology and heavy on practical advice. So, if you are looking for a serious theology of money, look elsewhere. However, this short book does explain all the other financial topics that serious stewardship books leave out.

Some topics covered include the basics of church accounting, internal control, procedures for receiving and spending money, ways of raising money, and tax issues. The information contained in this book could help prevent church conflicts, embezzlement scandals, and an unpleasant visit from the IRS.

The book is very well organized as each chapter is divided into many sections with informative headings. Finding what you need to know is easy.

You may want a more extensive resource for the church office, but this book is short and cheap enough to get copies for all the key leaders (e.g. minister, office administrator, board president, treasurer, and finance committee chair).
