LifeandLeadership.com Summary

This book contains a complete training program on congregational fund-raising. It combines the Leader Manual and the companion Participant’s Guide. Klein is a leading specialist in the field of non-profit fund-raising, especially for the purpose of funding social projects. Churches will benefit from this, but not as their primary source, as it assumes a scale much wider and larger than the typical annual stewardship drive. Use it to supplement the resources that are more specifically targeted to congregational stewardship development.

From the Publisher

A peer-led program designed for use with its companion Participant Manual, the Ask and You Shall Receive Leader Manual walks you through the most common fundraising scenarios with dependable information, methods, prompts, and preparation guidelines. Realistic time allowances keep the training within reach of busy volunteers.
