“Wow. This is the useful and comprehensive ‘textbook’ offering a 360-degree approach to local church finances for congregations of all sizes. From cover to cover, practical church financial management and stewardship information, templates to customize, and useful guidance for finance, stewardship, and trustee committees, pastors and treasurers.“
—Sheri M. Altland, United Methodist Communications Foundation, and UMC Campaign Director for Imagine No Malaria
“Bonnie Marden incorporates the theological purpose behind the work of the financial leader. This is important because it emphasizes that our work IS God’s work! Business principles apply, yet at the end of the day we are about ministry. Bonnie’s book is a must for anyone—lay or clergy—who wish to have a more complete understanding of the finances of a church." —David A. Snipes, President, United Methodist Foundation of Western North Carolina, Inc.
“Pastors and lay leaders will benefit greatly from this resource! Bonnie Marden has given stewardship committees a book to read, pastors a reference work to consult, and lay leaders an imaginative collection to study. Here is help for missional leaders, looking for best practices in stewardship. What shines through the whole book is a sense of gratitude, of goodness, and of generosity, all of which bring inspiration and encouragement.” —Robert Allan Hill, Dean of Marsh Chapel, Boston University
