Publisher Description: Winston Churchill once said, "We make a living by what we get; we make a life by what we give." Christians, and evangelicals in particular, make up the most generous philanthropic sectors in this country. Yet, few Christians actually practice true tithing, which amounts to giving away ten percent of one's income. Why is that? Isn't giving foundational to many of Jesus' teachings? This book addresses the principles of Christian stewardship and its importance to the faith community, examines giving statistics, looks at hindrances to giving, and explores ways in which churches and faith-based organizations can bolster philanthropic support. |
