But Christian money management is important, and actually do-able if you are willing to learn something new and make a few new habits. It may be a challenge, but you’ll discover it’s totally worthwhile!

Christian Children's Books full of life lessons for the whole family

Hermie and Friends by Max Lucado is a cute children’s series of books and shows that make the truths of the Bible practical and accessible for kids of all ages. The way Hermie and friends characters interact and learn the necessary lessons can bring home the point to kids and parents/grandparents at the same time.

Contentment in the Bible Contentment in the Bible is more than just a … Read More
