Learning about how to handle money is an essential life lesson that kids and teens need. The following book review is written by my thirteen year old daughter:
The Money Challenge for Teens, by Art Rainer, is a finance book with a Christian perspective that teaches you how to start managing your money early by giving, saving, and spending wisely. The book’s topics vary from giving to your local church to saving for retirement as a teenager. The book is divided into 3 sections: Give Generously, Save Wisely, and Live Appropriately. Sometimes it can be hard to know where to start when you begin to handle money. This book solves that problem by giving you steps that you can take in order to have a successful money system in the future. In addition, there are 30 helpful and varied money challenges for you to complete. These challenges range from reading and reflecting on a specific Bible verse to opening a checking account. In every chapter, there are interesting and relatable fiction stories and personal insights from the author. The most interesting part in the book for me was the way Rainer describes debt. He shows how dangerous it can be and how it can negatively affect your future. The Money Challenge for Teens would be a great read for both boys and girls that are around 13-15 years old. I would rate this book a 5 out of 5 stars.
