PRACTICAL STRATEGIES
This book offers a variety of strategies and suggestions for the clergy, clergy families, congregations, and the larger church to nurture a healthy response to the temptations and blessings caused by money in our lives. How clergy respond to the complex issues caused by the role of money in the pastor’s life, the church, and the larger society affects the health of their spiritual leadership.
As Dr. Earl Smith says, “Steve has presented a comprehensive guide for clergy persons and congregations to deal with financial issues that can be troublesome for both. This has been a problem for Christian ministry from its beginning. See Philippians 4:10-20.”
