Product Description
Money Matters in Church helps leaders to discover a one-stop, comprehensive model for managing finances and fundraising. It guides leaders of any size church or ministry to create a culture of giving that supports savvy, faithful, and legal financing. The authors present a biblical theology of stewardship that supports ways to develop donors and maximize contributions, enact a strategic budget and effective audit process, project income and expenses, work with banks, compensate staff, and address debt. The book's practical step-by-step approach makes finance issues understandable for leaders without a business background.

The Missing Book on Managing Money in Your Church January 18, 2008
This book fills a giant hole in church leadership books - how to handle money, increase giving and raise big dollars for big projects. Co-author Steve Stroope is my mentor and friend, but he and Aubrey Malphrs deliver the goods in this book. This book is the best book I've read on church stewardship since Money, Possessions and Eternity by Randy Alcorn.

Stewardship vs. money raising September 7, 2007
0 out of 4 found this review helpful

Mr. Malphurs presents a good argument for Christian stewardship. Unfortunately, he is of a more conservative (read fundamentalist) persuasion than I am. Quoting a blizzard of scripture qsuotes does NOT prove a point. It is like using UPPER CASE to STRESS a point. The argument's cogency depends on the strength of the arguments, not the prooftexts cited. Unfortunately he makes far more use of the latter and too few of the former. Still and all, it is a good read for the busy minister who is constantly bombarded by a church board complaining constantly (or so it seems) about lowered givings and straitened circumstances. This book clearly lays out the difference betwen mere fund-raising. Unfortunately his arguments are buttressed, far too much, in my opinion, by prooftexts rather than solid debating points. Still, for many churches, this book could be a real God-send in more ways than one.
