This book wasn’t a prescriptive line by line assessment of a church budget. I found this book to provide helpful guardrails and foundational reminders for how a church should approach its budget. It was short and easy to read and still robust in its content. I certainly learned a lot and it has changed the way I will look at the budget categories that I oversee and how I view a church budget more broadly. Using the Great Commission as a key standard for budgeting seems quite sound. The practical realities of how and when to pull funding for line items was helpful. Overall, this was really good and educating book.
