The book has some excellent ideas about fund raising; fund raisers need to structure their campaigns with church mission at the core. I particularly valued the recommendation that ministers know the contributions of their parishioners and use this information as they became directly involved in fundraising. As a former university administrator, I can appreciate the author's contrast of how other non-profits' fundraising efforts compare (favorably) with the typically less effective techniques of churches. But the author is clearly a conservative Christian and tied the book closely to the mission of Christ. This is clearly understandable, and in describing his mission, the author is following his own advice. Even with the good fundraising ideas, this perspective was a growing impediment for me, a non-Christian, as I read the book. My advice: read it until you can't!

Hearing a young attorney speak of the faith-based reasons for which he had just made a substantial monetary gift to a community youth center, Clif Christopher asked the speaker if he would consider making a similar contribution to the congregation of which he was an active member. "Lord no, they wouldn't know what to do with it" was the answer. That, in a nutshell, describes the problem churches are facing in their stewardship efforts, says Christopher. Unlike leading nonprofit agencies and institutions, we too often fail to convince potential givers that their gifts will have impact and significance. In this book, Christopher lays out the main reasons for this failure to capture the imagination of potential givers, including our frequent failure simply to ask. Written with the needs of pastors and stewardship teams in mind, Not Your Parents' Offering Plate provides immediate, practical guidance to all who seek to help God's people be better stewards of their resources.
