Earn. Save. Give. Youth Study Book: Wesley's Simple Rules for Money
()
About this ebook
John Wesley believed money was important as a way of expressing and
living out Christian faith. To Wesley, the task was simple: earn all you
can, save all you can, give all you can. In this essential little book,
pastor and author James A. Harnish presents Wesley’s concepts and
beliefs in plain, useful language, suitable for individuals to grapple
with and groups to discuss and act upon.
The four chapters of this book form the basis for a four-week churchwide
stewardship program, along with the DVD, Leader Guide, Devotional
Readings for Home, Youth Study Book, Children’s Leader Guide, and the
Program Guide on flash drive.
Everything needed to conduct a 4-week youth study for ages 13-18, as
part of the churchwide stewardship program. The Youth Study Book
includes participant content as well as leader helps.

Introduction
Get on the John Wesley Financial Plan
If you’ve spent much time in a church that has Methodist or Wesleyan as part of its name, you’ve probably heard the name John Wesley. If you haven’t, you’re about to find out about him, and I think you’ll be delighted and inspired.
John Wesley, through his teachings and the example of his life, had an influence on dozens of Christian denominations and traditions, including The United Methodist Church, the Church of the Nazarene, the African Methodist Episcopal Church, Churches of God, and the Salvation Army. The funny thing is that Wesley didn’t set out to start a new denomination; he just wanted to be a better Christian.
Those who were influenced by Wesley’s teaching and example called themselves Methodists, a term originally coined to poke fun at John Wesley’s methodical approach to faith.
