Innerfaith Ministries of Palm Springs

Thank you for asking. You know I sent for this book during a very busy time for the Post Office; yet I got the book quickly and in fine shape. I really needed it when I got it. I had to give an overview of church bookkeeping and accounting to my church last week. I used the book to outline my presentation to the Finance Committee! I was a hit, thanks to the book. They appointed me bookkeeper for the church. I told them that I could not accept the position on a permanant basis. I did accept it as a tempt until they get a permanent (younger person--I'm 76). Since you have been sooooooo nice, could you recommend a Basic Accounting book that I could use as the church's bookkeepper? I would like to give our small church (300-350 people) some good accounting methods/principles. The Basis Accounting book should be for just basic accounting, not church accounting or bookkeepping. I just got that from you. You're great. Thank you sooooo much, George Mucherson

A quick way to get on track

This book gives easy to understand information about how to keep accurate accounting records. The best part is that sample forms are shown in the book that you can recreate and use. No previous accounting knowledge is necessary, and not a lot of time is needed to understand the system outlined in the book. Scripture references are given at the beginning of each chapter so that you get the biblical principles behind the procedures that Mr, Henry recommends.
