Subtitled ‘How to develop extravagant givers in your
church’, this book by Nelson Searcy is a very useful addition to a leader’s
bookshelf. Involved in ministry in New York and Florida, the author also coaches
senior pastors on a regular basis.
The issue of resourcing the ministry of the church cannot
be avoided if there is to be growth! A systematic and prayerful approach to
giving has to be established in the life of any thriving church and Nelson
Searcy has provided a book on ‘biblical stewardship in our current church
culture’.
This is a book that lays out lots of ‘how to’s – its practical
approach covers ways of encouraging and developing giving among the people of
God. It will give all of us food for thought regarding the ways that we do and
don’t do the giving and receiving of money to support the work of our local
churches.
The issue of money needs serious and regular thought in
the lives of our churches as far as I am concerned. This is a book to help
provoke thought – and provide insights!
