A Spirituality of Fundraising 
[henri nouwen]

Picture
"Fundraising is, first and foremost, a ministry," renowned author and teacher Henri Nouwen writes in the introduction. "It's a way of announcing our vision and inviting other people into our mission."

Nouwen approaches fundraising from a position of strength rather than weakness, seeing it as spiritual work. "Fundraising is precisely the opposite of begging," he points out.

The Sower: Redefining the Ministry of Raising Kingdom Resources
[r. scott rodin, gary g. hoag]

Picture
Providing momentum to a movement aimed at the heart of every person who is involved in the process of raising money or giving money for the work of God s Kingdom. This movement is a realignment of priorities that places changed hearts above changed bank balances. It is a new order that seeks to develop faithful stewards whose hearts are rich toward God.  All that sowers can do is sow faithfully and wait and hope and believe. Sowers cannot play God and cause the seeds to grow. All they can do, and must do, is sow faithfully and regularly and trust God for the increase.
