Money Talks

The Love of Money Is the Root of All Evil…

The Bible tells us so. But we must also remember that Ignorance About Money is the Root of Much Misery…and Wisdom About Money Is the Source of Satisfaction to God!

God has much to say about how we get, give, save, and spend money. (Source: the Bible, start to finish!) Money Talks – 10-session Leader’s Guide, CD-ROM, downloadable worksheets – provides youth workers with simple yet compelling biblical teaching on resources and responsibilities to share with students.

American teenagers spend over $120 billion a year – about $4,000 each. Everyone who sells shoes and CDs, software and soft drinks, skateboards and stereos, knows this fact…and they all want their share. Yet while the marketers spend billions to shape our students’ money habits and values, the church gives our kids almost no guidance on the subject…except for an occasional sermon on giving. Money Talks provides the distillation of the Bible’s wisdom on the subject, aimed at high school students, but adaptable for use with junior highers.

Money Talks is a much-needed resource for youth workers who work with teenagers absorbed in a materialistic culture or those who need practical, common-sense, biblical instruction on this universal topic. Perfect for youth group leaders, Sunday school teachers, and small group leaders!
