    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.

      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. Wesley’s hope was for Methodism to be a revival movement within the Church of England; he never intended for there to be a separate Methodist Church. Nonetheless, those who called themselves Methodists looked to Wesley for wisdom and guidance on a host of subjects, including their
