Summary

All churches need to raise funds at some time, yet the only fundraising books available are aimed at large or secular organizations. This book takes the methods of modern fundraisers and adapts them to the needs of Christian churches. The reader is taken through various stages from planning and execution to learning lessons afterwards. It includes a wide range of case histories, with a list of things to remember at the end of each chapter.
