Three Cups - A Book Review and Giveaway

Three Cups – Teaching children how to save, spend and be charitable can be as simple as 1, 2, 3!

My husband and I went through Financial Peace University last winter.  The section on training your children in finances presented the same give, save, spend principles and we implemented them right away.  When I saw the book, Three Cups, I couldn't wait to share it with my children who are excited to divide up their commission each time it is given.

Three Cups is a story of untold adventures, starting when a child gets three cups for his fifth birthday.  While nothing is special about the cups from their cupboard, dividing up the allowance into those cups brings excitement.  With saving comes a trip to the bank to open an account and accumulate savings.  With spending comes a long desired toy and present for his sister.  With giving, others were helped and the child can see the happiness it brings.

The book is a basic one, which will help any child understand the give, save, spend system.  There is no biblical basis presented, so I felt something was lacking.  While the system itself is valuable, there are biblical truths why we should use it.  Three Cups will open up many conversations you can have with your child about what we have being given to us by God and using those resources to glorify Him.
