"In the Bible, God says more about our relationship to money and material possessions than almost any other topic. Most of us struggle as we learn how God wants us to manage the material part of His world. The Good Sense Ministry is a ministry ... to assist anyone in learning how to implement practical, usable techniques for controlling the money and possessions God has entrusted to each of us. Good Sense is committed to helping each of us grow spiritually and become more financially faithful, fulfilled and free. The mission of the Good Sense Ministry is to help people honor God with life resources regardless of where they are on their spiritual journey." - The Willow Creek Association

Topics include the following: Getting Out of Debt, Spending, Giving, Earning Money, Saving, Budgeting, Training Children, and Investing." - Crown Financial Ministries
