A Pastor's Guide to Developing Disciples, Givers, & Stewards

The purpose of this book is not primarily about people giving more money, or about creating a culture of generosity among your people, even though Scriptural disciples will want to give their best. Giving is about discipleship more than the money. This is a book about developing disciples with a specific application on stewardship and giving, and the pastor’s involvement in helping the people do so.


This book was written by an older pastor to help other pastors and ministerial students to find, identify, address, and resolve the often overlooked key factor in discipleship – the me-ism factor. Its scope can be seen in its chapter titles:
