The Church Money Manual is the most up-to-date and easy-to-use handbook for churches seeking better ways to manage finances. Brief and straightforward chapters each focus on a specific problem or issue.

Some examples include: · Planned giving and endowment funds. · Strategies to increase end-of-year giving. · First steps for the newly-appointed pastor. · Pastors’ knowledge of donors and giving in their church. · Timing of building projects and capital campaigns. · Special offerings. · Selecting members for the finance committee. · What to do when giving is down. · Preaching about tithing.
