Resources
We are often asked to provide resource suggestions in the areas of personal finance, stewardship and strategic planning. Rather than putting together a comprehensive book list, we decided to provide a listing of books, tapes and Web sites we consult regularly. We add new resources to this list regularly, so check back from time to time.Books
