Many congregations and religious entities fear that they cannot raise these transformational gifts due to a lack of expertise among staff or volunteers, the limited financial resources of their constituents, or the simple discomfort of addressing ultimate issues with donors. \u003ci\u003eFaithful Giving\u003c\/i\u003e can help change those dynamics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book is intentionally inclusive of Christian and other faith traditions by offering several case studies from a variety of Christian denominations and other religions, including Roman Catholic, Episcopal, Presbyterian, Lutheran, Baptist, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, Sikh, and others.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e“Faithful Giving \u003c\/i\u003eis a must-read for practitioners, Imams, clergy, faithful philanthropists, and scholars of philanthropy.
