Description
Book SynopsisGenerosity is part of the Christian life. And the money we give has to be looked after with integrity. The apostle Paul teaches on both these aspects of handling money. Money is a risky business, always with temptation. John Stott looks at the Apostle Paul's teaching (1 Corinthians 16 and 2 Corinthians 8,9) on Christian giving. How do we decide what to give? Is it ever right for our giving to go down, if circumstances change? For general use in church life, or with particular reference to a giving appeal or building project. Chris Wright takes the same passages, and opens out the Apostle's teaching on how to handle money with integrity and transparency. For Treasurers or for anyone who is responsible for special appeals. We are not aware of any other publication which does this job. Questions included for personal reflection or for group discussion.
Trade Review"This is an unusual volume. Two writers look at the same passages from the Apostle Paul, and draw out complementary principles on handling money. John Stott focuses on Paul's teaching on giving, Chris Wright on accountability. I can testify to the personal integrity of both authors; and to their deep desire not only to live by these principles, but to share them in a relevant way with God's people around the world.
