Check out the following books:

Thank you John R for such a quick response.
Your answer does apply to my question but I did not phrase it very well or give enough background.
I have two of the three resources you mentioned above (#1 and #3). I have read through both of them completely twice. But what I was looking for is not in either publication. I have also studied the chart of accounts that is generated by the choosing "non-profit" in setting up a company and also looked extensively at the chart of accounts offered in UCOA Ver. 3 and cap911ucoa.
What I became uncertain about was the difference of account number ranges used by the default "Church" chart of accounts used when setting up QB 20010 Premiere Nonprofit. I was then trying to gleam the "meaning" of each "account name" as compared to nonprofit, UCOA and the CPA911 UCOA. I soon became dazed and confused because I am not an experienced bookkeeper or accountant, just an inexperienced book-smart MBA that knows theory and not practicality.
In my ideal dream world, I would like to have had not only the chart of accounts automatically configured but also explanations for each account name with enough examples so that I would not have had any doubt where every thing needs to go.
But alas, this comes with experience and I was looking for a free-bee.
Again, John, thank you for your reply, it did answer the question I asked.
