Former Church Stewardship Director Releases "Mis-Education of the Christian...: On Money and Giving

Atlanta, GA (PRWeb) January 9, 2007 -- Doreen Carter, founder of Wealth & Wisdom Resource Group (WAWRG) found an alarming statistic. A recent study showed an astounding statistic related to the proportion of households that actually give to their church.     It has lead her to release her new book, Mis-education of the Christian…: On Money and Giving.

According to Barna Research, the proportion of households that tithe their income to their church, give at least ten percent of their income to that ministry - has dropped by 62 percent, from 8 percent in 2001 to just 3 percent of adults during 2002 (2003); and, the study's authors state that only 9 percent of Christians tithed their income to churches in 2004. Carter asked, "why?" Why has the offering decreased? She believes it is because of the mis-education.

Carter, former director of Stewardship at New Birth Missionary Baptist Church says, no more.

"There will be no more silence in the pews when it comes to money and giving," she said. "There is lot of talk today about money, giving, and prosperity preachers. The ironic thing about the 'prosperity' message is that statistically church offerings are on a decline."

Her book, Mis-education of the Christian…:On Money and Giving has been released through Author House Publishing. The book outlines money and giving from Genesis to Revelations. The book addresses the true motives and purpose for giving.

"It's time for Christians to study," Carter asserted. "The Bible tells us that the people perish for lack of knowledge."

In her book, Carter takes a look at Abraham and his motives for giving an offering to Melchizedek.

"Giving is not the problem--it's the motives," she said. "The motive behind the teaching and the motive behind the giver or the lack of giving is the issue. The Bible says, 'you will know the truth and the truth will make you free.' It is time for the Body of Christ to be free."

Quote:
"It's critical that believers have a scriptural context for money. From Genesis to Revelation -- this book gives readers easy-to-read Bible-based guidelines on how God views money - it will help to liberate and empower all who embrace and apply its principles."

"Mis-education of the Christian has challenged me to think about why I do what I do. Today more than ever before, I am more conscious of what the Bible teaches about money. This book has motivated me to truly check the condition of my heart upon giving. It's a must-read for Christians and non-Christians alike. It will dispel any myths you've had about the Bible and money, and will free you to be more faithful in your giving."

Carter was motivated to write this book because of her own desire to know the truth and she feels it's her mission to share the truth.
