More Blessed to Give: Straight Talk on Stewardship

With years of experience as a parish priest, the author provides a concise and thorough guide to all aspects of the theology and practice of stewardship. His 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, originally published as Stewardship: Myth and Methods, is a valuable development tool with a proven track record that’s highly praised by clergy and lay leaders throughout the church.
