"Congregations never have enough money. Congregations have all the money they really need for God's mission." With these paradoxical statements, Callahan launches his exploration of Giving and Stewardship in an Effective Church. Drawing on four decades of consulting experience with churches of all denominations, the author of Twelve Keys to an Effective Church provides readers with a motivational and informational account of his twelfth key--how to put a church on solid financial footing. Callahan also shares practical suggestions and wisdom for applying the four steps of giving, and he shows how these steps are really also the steps for mission. Giving and Stewardship is ideal for congregational study, small groups, or retreats. It will help church members in their mission, their life, their family, and their church. "Living is giving," Callahan writes. "We live life best as we give our strengths, gifts, and competencies in the service of God's mission. We are called to serve, not survive. Our giving makes a difference in our families, our work, our community, our world, and our church." |
