Faith-Based And Not-For-Profit Finance

Financial Management for Faith-Based and Not-For-Profit Entities is an attempt to introduce godliness into the commercial transactions of Christians and other faiths adherents using scriptural guides as espoused in the Torah, the Bible, Quran and other authoritative religious books. Notably, the book introduces financial analysis and project appraisal methods that can be adaptable and applicable to financial management in faith-based and not-for-profit organizations, where profit maximization is less emphasized. In addition, this book can serve as a standard reference text for students (graduate and postgraduate) and religious teachers and leaders in the area such as church administration, conflict management and biblical perspectives of economic and financial transactions. It particularly redefined the concept of shareholding and investment returns in the context of faith-based businesses and projects.
