Ages 8-12
Proverbs 22:6 instructs that a child should be trained "in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it." The next verse in Proverbs (22:7) tells us that the borrower is slave to the lender. Teaching your children about how to handle money is a number one priority. Make sure your children don't get into the debt-trap.

Children: This book teaches you what the Bible has to say about how to manage money God's way. Follow the story of Nathan, Rosie, Luke and Bethany as they try to save enough money to go on a school trip to the Welsh mountains. Go with them as they learn to earn, give, save and spend money, and discover some important things about the Bible and God's ways with money and possessions. There are more than 2300 verses in the Bible on this topic and 15 per cent of Jesus' recorded words are about money and possessions.
Along the journey you will also find out about some Bible characters such as David and Goliath, Elisha and the widow and oil, King Solomon, Daniel, Nehemiah and Joseph.
Teach your children what the Bible has to say about money
Once they have learned to follow what God wants us to know they will be able to pray and apply these principles. He wants us to follow His principles and pray for wisdom concerning every area of our lives: money, character, career, marriage, ministry and everything else. Making Jesus relevant in finances is one great step to making Him Lord of our lives.
The book can be used on its own or together with the Teacher's Guide which includes additional discussion questions, activities, worksheets and a teaching plan for each lesson.
Your Money Counts is an interdenominational ministry that trains people to apply biblical financial principles to their lives.
