A Step at a Time: Growing Givers Through Stewardship Letters

In his practical and easy-to-follow book Glenn Borreson offers a plan for increasing giving in a congregation through personalized stewardship letters. His example, timeline, and step-by-step procedures will provide an excellent resource for any pastor who wants to help his or her congregation grow in Christian stewardship. Borreson's suggestions not only help to increase giving, they also do it in a non-threatening way. I recommend his program enthusiastically.

Every pastor carries the responsibility of teaching people how to give and encouraging them in their giving.... Beyond mere fund-raising, Borreson's approach moves toward developing the grace of generous giving as one mark of Christian character. His field-tested stewardship program is adaptable in congregations large or small.
