NASHVILLE, Tenn. — To help families reduce their financial debt, LifeWay Christian Resources and the Southern Baptist Convention’s Executive Committee hope to see a New Testament become a valuable resource. If so, churches will benefit.

The Executive Committee worked with LifeWay’s Holman Bible Outreach International (HBOI) to develop a copy of the New Testament that includes 30 daily devotions written by Crown Financial Ministries to be used by churches with the “It’s a New Day” curriculum series.

It’s a New Day curriculum includes a 10-week Bible study that leads individuals through the biblical principles of money management. Churches that implement a four-week emphasis on financial freedom also may use sermons provided on a DVD that teach foundational principles for handling money God’s way.

Phill Burgess, executive director of HBOI, believes the New Day New Testaments encourage a sense of community for those learning about biblical principles of money management.

“With the entire congregation going through the series together, a sense of oneness within the church can be created, like we are all in this together,” Burgess said. “Using the New Day New Testaments during the series is like a tender walk through God’s word that can lead an entire congregation into a life-changing commitment that will bring peace in their lives.”

The New Day New Testaments are available by bulk order through LifeWay Christian Stores or through the HBOI web site at www.holmanbibleoutreach.com.
