Generous Saints: Congregations Rethinking Ethics and Money (Book)
James Hudnut-Beumler, Author.  Herndon, VA: Alban Institute, 1999.

Author James Hudnut-Beumler immediately shifts notions of parish finance from green eyeshade budget-balancing to perennial religious questions undergirding mission and life. He would have the church enable members to communicate and clarify their ideas about money, work, mission, stewardship, and congregational practice.

What choices do we make about how we live with what we have? And what consequences follow from our choices? This book calls us to responsive tending to what has been placed in our care. We are enriched by our possessions, by our capacities, but mostly by what God and others have entrusted to us.

Generous Saints does not waste your time or effort. Its calm but challenging analysis and its insightful exercises belong in the hands of a stewardship committee months before a stewardship campaign is designed and launched. And if clergy and boards read it too, more than a church's financial circumstances may benefit.
