God and Money both make a lot of promises.
God keeps all of God's promises, while Money keeps none.
The God vs. Money study by J. Clif Christopher is for leaders in churches and other ministry settings who have responsibility for capital campaigns, budgets, stewardship, planned giving, and other financial concerns. The typical study groups include finance committees, stewardship teams, foundation boards, and finance-related staff teams. The study is also recommended for continuing education of pastors and other church leaders.
The study has three components: 1) the main book, God vs. Money: Winning Strategies in the Combat Zone (ISBN 9781501868115); 2) the God vs. Money Participant Guide (ISBN 9781501891571); and 3) the God vs. Money DVD (ISBN 9781501891595).The God vs. Money Participant Guide together with the God vs. Money DVD provide a process for applying key principles from the main book in the participants' own ministry context. A copy of the main book is required for each participant and a copy of the DVD is required for each group.
Prior to each group session, participants should read a section of the main book. Sessions start with a 7-10 minute video from the DVD featuring author Clif Christopher. Using the Guide, participants complete a variety of activities focused on the application of key points from the prescribed reading, including discussion questions, personal reflection, group problem-solving activities, and other actions. The Participant Guide serves as a workbook, giving each participant a place to record their thoughts and insights from the group, and to plan next steps.
