44 Ways to Expand the Financial Base of Your Congregation

Here is a treasury of 44 proven-effective stewardship ideas by the man Leadership magazine calls America's foremost authority on the dynamics of church life.

When all is said and done, says Lyle E. Schaller, there are only two good reasons why anyone should be asked to contribute money to the church. The first is to help promote the giver's spiritual growth... The second reason is even simpler. Christian discipleship is Christian stewardship. How could it be anything else? How else do God's people grow in grace?

In the tradition of Schaller's many other top-selling books, 44 Ways to Expand the Financial Base of Your Congregation contains strategies tested and proven in scores of local congregations across the U.S. and Canada. The 44 strategies are humorously illustrated by Edward Lee Tucker's Friar Tuck cartoon characters.
