Gift of a Lifetime: Planned Giving in Congregational Life

Our church recently began an endowment fund drive, and we have found this book very helpful in making plans to approach the congregation. We have already had a month of seminars on planned giving topics, and found the book timely and useful in setting up the meetings. It has also been very helpful in suggesting avenues for promotion and publication within the church, and in establishing a strong theological basis for this kind of stewardship. As the VP for Advancement of Montreat College, a Christian college in North Carolina, I have seen many books of this type, but was pleased to recommend this to others on my church committee.
