Matt About Money
- Diet is Not a Four-Letter Word; Fresh Foods for Less; Economizing in a Tough Economy; and more in the latest issue of the Matt About Money eNewsletter.
“What the Bible has to say about money is not often heard in British churches, so it was a real joy to have Matt Bell come over for a series of talks and workshops. In a society where many inside and outside the church are drowning in debt and financial wisdom is in short supply, Matt offers a much-needed biblical corrective that is full of hope and joy. I wholeheartedly endorse his work and look forward to his next visit to these shores!”
