Here is what a business teacher said about the accounting ebooks:

"I am a high school business teacher and have been approached by a church secretary to help her with a few accounting issues that she is having at her church. I teach beginning and advance accounting and realized that double entry accounting is quite different from church accounting. I purchased your books. They are wonderful and accurate reading from the accounting point of view."

Here is what a church treasurer said:

"As you mention, church accounting is different. I am an Accountant by trade and I find all the information you provide, with regards to handling the books of the church, very very useful. So, thanks again!"

                                                                                           -Pam Caesar

Here is a comment from another church treasurer:

"Thanks Vickey! I purchased your Bookkeeping for Churches ebooks and Accounting Systems and found them helpful. I'm taking over as treasurer for our church and was new to church accounting. Your books were helpful in getting my feet grounded in fund accounting."

                                                                                 -Mike from PA

Here is what a former CPA and Systems Implementation consultant said about this book:

Thanks Vickey. Cool stuff. I just finished reading 'Bookkeeping for Churches' and it is great for the unskilled.
Our small church is suffering under the burden of a robust church accounting package. I'm assisting the Fin. committee (I'm a former CPA and Systems Implementation consultant - now in Seminary pursuing ministry for a second career). As you know, for volunteers who aren't accounting oriented such a robust system can drown them. I'm a big fan of simple, especially with small operations.
Thanks for your passion for this area,


-Jim from FL
