Teaching kids about money is essential for the day and time we live in. Larry Burkett's "Money Matters" products make it easy to teach your children financial responsibility from a Christian perspective. As a supplement to the book Money Matters for Teens the workbooks help reinforce the concepts taught in Larry's book.

Although the book can be read alone, doing the workbooks offer extra practice in applying what the book teaches. The main difference between the two workbooks is that the first one geared towards 11 - 14 year olds focuses more on savings, investing and the basics of how money works.

In the second workbook which is geared towards 15 - 18 year olds, subjects such as buying a car, saving for college, getting and keeping a job are added to the foundation that is laid in the first workbook. Although a lot of the chapters are the same as the first workbook, review is always good so it can't hurt to do both workbooks along with reading the book.

Both workbooks have forms in the back, which include sample check registers, deposit slips, monthly income and expenses, earnings record and more. Overall, this is a solid program to help parents teach their children good stewardship and apply God's principals to their finances. I really like that the book teaches the importance of giving and investing into God's kingdom. In a time where people are panicked over finances, I think this is a great tool in our getting our kids on the right path and teaching them financial responsibility.

I wish these books would have been around when I was a teenager! I highly recommend them.

This book is great for opening discussion about dealing with money according to Godly principles. It gets them familiar with the vocabulary and methods we use.

The description of the book does not make it clear that this is a Christian book. I have spend more time trying to filter out the comments about how God wants you to live, than I have teaching my children how to manage their money. It was a waste of money for my family.
