A concise and thorough guide to all aspects of the theology and practice of stewardship.
The careful, step-by-step approach to giving and planning will help the reader consider a Bible-based theology of money; the development and presentation of the parish budget within this theological context; sacrificial giving and tithing; a detailed structure for the Every Member Canvass; and a program of year-round stewardship. Also included are stewardship success stories from a broad cross section of parishes, sermon examples, and sample mailing pieces for use in the Every Member Canvass.
This classic resource is a valuable development tool with a proven track record that's highly praised by clergy and lay leaders throughout the church.
